Como Cuidar de um Bebê Elefante

Some stories are simple yet complex because they are storming with emotions. This is one of them and making a film that connects with the masses becomes a challenge. Elephant Whisperers conquers this challenge because of some great direction, exquisite story telling, super camera work and great music. Human animal relationships weaved in the wonderful landscape of Mudumalai with a strong message of elephant conservation in India to end with, this is a complete winner. One feels like personally going and meeting this ele couple and ofcourse Raghu and Ammu

Well done team and ofcourse it's a must watch.

At a time like this when the world is so much in turmoil it is easy to get disheartened. Once in a while, though, you run across a movie that will pull at your heartstrings and make you realize that there is still goodness in the world. This movie will make you break out in smiles knowing that there are some very special people in the world who are kind and devoted to helping raise 2 baby elephants. I am so happy I found it on Netflix. I recommend it highly! I myself have already watched it twice and told all my friends and family about it! Kudos to the Director, wildlife photographer Kartiki Gonsalves, and her film crew for making this charming movie and bringing it to the world.

I saw this on Netflix 2 days prior to the Oscars & absolutely fell in love with the documentary..

The visuals are breathtaking, the emotions are so genuine, the production value is on point, the narrative so engaging & lastly, you end up longing for a part 2 !!

The 2 central character are so caring, down to earth but the main takeaways are specific to how the director humanized this topic into showing the culture of this Indian tribe & how love is the only eternal emotion that transcends everything in this universe..

Special shoutout to Ammu & Raghu who make this documentary so heartwarming!!!

A well deserved Oscars !!

Incredibly moving documentary about a couple in Southern India who foster orphaned elephants. The film does a phenomenal job of providing environmental, societal, and historical context to a heartwarming story. The elephants are undoubtedly the stars of the film - their mischief, gentle nature, and unconditional affection display a human child-like character that only makes you smile. Where the viewer is truly lucky is that the couple is able to translate exactly what the elephant is thinking, doing, or feeling in a way that a parent can for a child. The best thing about this short documentary is that it has something for everyone. A must watch.

No matter who you are, what religion, colour or race we are all a part of the Earth and we unite as one in this shared landscapes. This documentary grows on you as it progresses. The director has beautifully captured the story about how a bond is developed between the orphaned Elephants and a couple who had recently lost something in their life. It will make you smile, cry, touched and engaged throughout the 41 minutes.

Kudos to the forest department of Tamil Nadu for supporting and allowing this story to be heard.

The documentary footage has superb cinematography and has captured the landscape of Mudumalai splendidly. You feel like watching this docu again and again.
