Elephants were once revered as the living god Ganesha. Now they are called the “elephant menace.” Blame the growth of agriculture, particularly coffee.

So many films with "a message" use sensationalism, extreme emotionalism, and easy answers to try to convince viewers. I greatly appreciate that you did not do this. The film was emotionally disturbing, but showed a balance between the many concerns involved. Some of the graphic art for the film was completed by
Ebony Missick from the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Tifton, GA. She graduated in December with a degree in biology. She is a native of the Bahamas who plans to attend graduate school to become a physician's assistant. Her artistic work has also been featured in the student newspaper, The Stallion, and in art shows on the ABAC campus. Original signed prints are available for purchase. |
