Diary of an Elephant Orphan
Hermien Roelvert-Van Gils / South Africa / 2023 / 83 min
A baby elephant has lost its parents and now faces slim chances of survival. A group of wildlife conservationists takes the elephant in and cares for it, naming it Khanyisa, which means ‘sunshine’. The documentary takes us on a moving journey, following Khanyisa’s search for a new family. Since a wild elephant herd is unlikely to accept an orphaned youngster, Khanyisa’s rescuers set out to find a herd of orphaned elephants that was rescued twenty-five years ago.
