Elephant
Directed by Mark Linfield
Produced by Disneynature
A visually stunning nature documentary that follows an elephant family's perilous desert journey with warmth and wonder, balancing genuine survival stakes against an ultimately hopeful narrative arc.
Disneynature’s Elephant follows African elephant Shani and her spirited son Jomo as their herd make an epic journey hundreds of miles across the vast Kalahari Desert. Led by their great matriarch, Gaia, the family faces brutal heat, dwindling resources and persistent predators, as they follow in their ancestors’ footsteps on a quest to reach a lush, green paradise.
