The Elephant Whisperers Documentary Review: A jumbo-sized heart-warming
They say a bond once created between a man and an animal will last forever. This holds true in every sense in the latest Netflix Tamil documentary, The Elephant Whisperers, which tells the tale of an elderly couple — Raghu and Bellie — who become caretakers of two abandoned baby elephants.
The documentary movie which was released on December 8th, 2022 on Netflix. Set in the beautiful and peaceful rural backdrops of a South Indian village, this India-set short documentary tells the heartwarming story of the first couple to successfully raise two baby elephants in the Theppakadu Elephant Camp.
Much of the beauty of The Elephant Whisperers lies in the understated coming-of-age of the film’s narrative that draws ample parallels between humans and animals.
