Ghost Elephants

A thought-provoking look at a quest for elusive elephants. A rich, warm study of indigenous trackers and the natural world. Steve Boyd's knowledge and passion is beautifully portrayed through Werner Herzog's magical lens. A film for lovers of elephants, myths, nature and those searching for meaning in life on earth.

I started on this project right at the beginning, and this film was stolen along with all our footage by Werner Hertzog who came on as the producer and couldn't resist when he saw the Directors brief and edits. Werner was so desperate for a last dance before he retires and had nothing original so he stole this.

You've built your reputation by stealing the work and ideas of others - you Steve Boyes and Werner Hertzog should be ashamed of yourselves. This isn't conservation, it's exploitation. You speak of protecting communities while being insensitive to them, and you take credit for the creativity of others to fuel your own ego. People may not see it yet, but the truth always surfaces. The legacy you're building isn't one of integrity, it's one of theft and deception.

Ghost Elephants" is hauntingly beautiful , proper goosebumps stuff. It captures the wild soul of Africa with quiet power, showing how nature remembers even when humans forget. It is national geographic gold ....the kind of story that stays with you long after the credits roll and captutes the resilience of Africa's wilderness.

Mesmerising adventure well worth the watch.

A marvellously warm and engaging study. For those willing to piece the picture together from its most glorious sections, this is an affectionate and affection-inducing pursuit of real animals and unreachable dreams.

The Bottom Line A poetic exploration of human obsession and mysterious nature.
