“Elephant” follows African elephant Shani and her spirited son Jomo as their herd make an epic journey hundreds of miles across the vast Kalahari Desert. Led by their great matriarch, Gaia, the family faces brutal heat, dwindling resources and persistent predators, as they follow in their ancestor’s footsteps on a quest to reach a lush, green paradise.
According to People, all proceeds from the documentary will be channeled to supporting Elephants Without Borders, a non profit organization protecting elephants across Africa. Back in 2017, Prince Harry and Meghan visited the NGO in Bostwana.
