The Elephant Whisperers (which won the Oscar for best documentary short subject) takes place in the Theppakadu Elephant camp in Southern India, the largest contiguous wild space for the Asian elephant. The short documentary centers around Bellie and Bomman, a Kattunayakan couple who devoted their lives to caring for elephants who can no longer survive alone. It gives viewers a small glimpse into their lives, and its stunning cinematography captures the beauty of not only the forest, but also the powerful relationships forged between humans and elephants. Simple and moving, this short documentary is perfect for animal lovers or anyone looking for a heartwarming story.
