Daily Telegraph (UK)

Experts explained that Kavaan's behaviour - rocking from side to side - was a sign of physical and mental distress but the programme was sufficiently sanitised to qualify as family viewing.

It's a resounding testament to the power of compassion and community.

Not only tells Kaavan's story, but highlights the abuses many animals suffer in captivity, as well as the international animal rights organizations trying to save them.

The Curvy Film Critic

Who would've thunk that Cher would become an animal activist in the middle of a global pandemic? She did THAT and proved that it only takes one person to make a difference

The Spool

Content with referring to the Islamabad Zoo as a "hell hole," there is no critical examination of how [the titular elephant] Kaavan's circumstances came to be.

I'm a huge elephant lover and a huge Cher fan but when I watched this it made me cry not only for how the elephant was living for so many years but when he finally arrived to his new home. Cher you are a awesome singer and more importantly you are a awesome person.

Shows the power of people, the whole trajectory of Kavaan is told in a unique way, that holds the viewer at the same time that sends a powerful message of compassion and hope at a time when we all need to be reminded of this, I can say that this the best conservation documentary I've ever witnessed.

This is the amazing true story of the world's loneliest elephant Kavaan and his long journey to freedom. Cher takes the emotional journey with Kavaan from the start to the fairy tale ending. Fascinating to watch his story and see the roles of all the people that helped free him. Plus you get to listen to a few of Cher's greatest hits while you're watching ❤
