How can this docu win an Oscar?
You see the animals in chains the whole time. And the 'caretakers' walking around with sticks and the 'ritual' where the elephants bow a bit and trumpeting all together. So unnatural... pure cultural reasoning, very sad.
A place is a good sanctuary where elephants are walking freely in their own habitat and people watching them from a distance. They don't ride on elephants, they don't touch them nor paint them or put flowers on them.
Truly don't understand why this docu can win an Oscar. We have still a lot to learn about taking care for these beautiful creatures. This is not the way. Very sad.
