ELEPHANT MOTHER: Documentary + Q&A
One woman’s quest to help save Thailand’s iconic and once-sacred elephants.
A classic fable of good versus evil, David against Goliath and a timely exposé; we follow Lek Chailert, a tribal Thai woman, as she struggles to rescue abused elephants from the horrifically cruel but secretive and deceptive Thai tourist industry and give them a life free from cruelty and exploitation.
Whilst she is globally renowned within the conservation world, the odds are all stacked against her as big business, political corruption, and a ‘mafia’ of traders and traffickers are ranged against her. But as the world hurtles into a global pandemic, Lek cleverly identifies this time of uncertainty and fear as an opportunity to out-manoeuvre her enemies and turn the tables…
We are thrilled to welcome Lek Chailert to the cinema for a post film discussion about her work; re-evaluating our relationship with the natural world and Eco-tourism.
