There is a crisis of elephantine proportions playing out in the dry sandy Kalahari woodlands of eastern Botswana. A determined family of caring people is caught in the middle of the drama. Life changed forever for the family when climate change intensified the frequent droughts, and hundreds of elephants arrived at Elephant Sands Bush Camp to drink water from the ancient pan. With narration by Game of Thrones's Jerome Flynn (Serr Bronn of the Blackwater), Elephant Refugees tells the inextricable stories of the family and their giant neighbors.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Jerome Flynn provides a suitably soothing voice over in his narration and his passion for the animals comes through as it should do.

Elephant Refugees works better when it doesn’t try to be something else than what it must be. This is an informative documentary about something very curious that we need to observe.
