The Elusive Hunt for Angola's
Conservationist Steve Boyes searches for a rumored new elephant species in the Angolan Highlands, as captured in Werner Herzog's haunting documentary.
Deep in the Angolan Highlands, a rumored new species of elephant has long evaded discovery. Conservationist and ornithologist Steve Boyes has been on a relentless quest to find this elusive herd, and his journey is the focus of Ghost Elephants, a haunting and evocative documentary directed by renowned filmmaker Werner Herzog.
The film, which debuted at the Venice International Film Festival last summer, is now set to premiere on National Geographic and Disney+. While it may seem unusual for an ornithologist to embark on a quest to find remote pachyderms, for Boyes, the connection is deeply personal.
