King of the Elephants

Editor's Take

Set in Zambia's Lower Zambezi Valley, this is a single-subject wildlife portrait built around one bull elephant and the stretch of river he moves through. The approach is observational, letting the animal's curiosity and daily routines carry the narrative rather than any larger thesis. What emerges is a study of individual character within a herd, and of the pressures that shape an elephant's life along the water.

This wildlife documentary tells the story of Big Boy, an unforgettable bull elephant in Zambia's beautiful Lower Zambezi Valley. Known for his impressive tusks and remarkably inquisitive nature, he becomes the star of a portrait of elephant life along the river. The film follows his world and the challenges he faces in the wild. Warm and beautifully filmed, it is a memorable elephant tale. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
