Filmed entirely on location in South Africa in May of 2017. World's first narrative motion picture about the elephant poaching crisis.
The elephants used in this movie are great performers and did many "unscripted" things that made it into the movie.
The lead elephant developed a clear bond with his boy co-star. There are three shots in the movie where the elephant clearly reaches out to the boy with his trunk, and touches him in an affectionate manner. This is how elephants behave with each other, and the elephant never did this to any other member of the cast or crew.
The elephant scenes were all filmed at a reserve in Bela Bela.
