About the film
For more than 10 years, conservation biologist and National Geographic Explorer Dr. Steve Boyes, has searched the highland plateau and deep forests of Angola for an elusive herd of “Ghost Elephants” — an undiscovered species of African elephant that is said to travel silently through its high-altitude domain, gaining an almost-mythological status among the indigenous peoples of the region.
Written, directed, and narrated by acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog ( Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man ), this haunting and contemplative film joins Boyes on his epic quest, along with some of the world’s best master trackers, in order to prove the existence of an animal long believed to be only a myth.
