Die Elefantenmutter

This is one hell of a documentary. Well made and a rollercoaster of emotions following these amazing elephants. Looks amazing in 4K HDR too, you will not be disappointed give it a watch.

This documentary has so much story to it. The characters make you laugh and smile. And it's amazing to see the stories that elephants bring among them. Probably one of the best nature documentaries I've watched in a while!

Overall this was good, narration was really good and so to was the photography. The one bit I did find annoying, which detracted from the documentary som what was some of the dumb sound effects e.g. helicopter sounds when following a beetle flying, or the 1950 sound effect of punching added to beetles fighting. To me, it was totally unnecessary.

Viewing this documentary has additional resonance in the week when the plight of Botswana's elephants has been widely reported. A mysterious cause has resulted in the mass death of hundreds of these endangered creatures, in a country home to one third of Africa's elephants. So watching this movie has been doubly moving as we become witnesses to a tribe of elephants led by the brave Athena. At times funny, as they tip toe around tortoises and frogs, they must navigate drought and other challenges. Magnificently filmed to the standard we would expect from David Attenborough's BBC crew. I hope it makes people wake up to the real dangers these magnificent creatures face, and that we help their future in the wild.

Amazing story of the life of elephants. The struggles,heartbreak and the joys off life.
