About Elephant Whisperer: Meet The Woman Who Became an Enemy of the State for Elephants
For seventy years, Noina lived in chains. As a blind Asian elephant working in the trekking industry, her world was limited to the sting of the bullhook and the weight of tourists on her back. This story follows conservationist Lek Chailert on a high-stakes mission to rescue this elderly giant and transport her across Thailand to a place where chains are replaced by grass. You will see the dark reality of the tourism industry and the brutal process known as the crush box that every captive elephant must endure. This is a look at the architects of the earth and the woman who risked her family and her reputation to ensure they have a future in the wild.
