2025 American documentary GHOST ELEPHANTS is coming to The Nightlight this month 🎬🐘 Tickets available now!
Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Fitzcarraldo) is no stranger to capturing the strange and extraordinary intersections of humans and the natural world, especially through the lens of an obsessed individual on a singular quest. This is the case in the German filmmaker’s latest documentary feat, 'Ghost Elephants,' which follows conservationist Dr. Steve Boyes on his expedition in the Angolan highlands to investigate the possible existence of a mythical species of giant elephants.
Boyes has been in search of the elusive herd of Ghost Elephants in the highlands of Angola, a wooded plateau — virtually uninhabited, but in size as large as England. He sets out with master trackers from Namibia, the best remaining in the world, but there is a deep underlying question: would it not be better to keep these gigantic elephants rather as a dream, as ghosts, as the White Whale, than finding them in reality?
