Join us for 'March of the Elephants' Elephants Block Part 2 Film Screening + Q&A as part of Wildscreen Festival’s Official Selection public screenings.

This film adopts a more sympathetic view on China’s relationship with elephants as we chart a journey over 1,700km long.

March of the Elephants (54m): Olivia Chen
A herd of elephants left their homeland Xishuangbanna, moving northward across over 1700 kilometres in around a year and a half. Their story is like a mirror, reflecting the humans and the elephants’ encounter in Yunnan, China. People do their best to guide the elephants all along the way. The responses from these giants made humans think about their roles in nature and the importance of protecting the home of wildlife and biodiversity. During the epic journey to the north and back to the south, crossing the forests, the farms, the roads, the viaducts, and the boundaries between the nature reserve and the human society, we can see the goodwill of the humans as well as the elephants building their trusts. At the same time, they seek food and water, shelter and survival.
