This astonishing wildlife film featuring the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe and impressive conservationist Sharon Pincott in Hwange is not to be missed. We keep asking ourselves how this can be in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe? It is an exceptional account of an inspirational lady and her really very exceptional relationship and life with wild elephants. It is intensely poignant and yet funny in parts too. An amazing journey to where every animal lover wants to be. Truly rousing and thought provoking, definitely make a point of going on this journey with Sharon and the elephants of Zimbabwe, it could change your life. -
Absolutely amazing. Out of Zimbabwe? Wow. This outdoes Out of Africa. I have read Sharon Pincott’s books but nothing prepared me for seeing these extraordinary elephant interactions in the flesh. How could the South African filmmakers not excel with such incredible subjects both human and animal. High praise for finally showing the world what wild elephants are really like, even in a place as troubled as Zim has been. These are the most magnificent of all beasts and in Zimbabwe? Gentle giants of the African wild. I am still in glorious shock. Somebody is doing something right. The hour out of your life it takes to watch this will alter your thinking on all sorts of levels forever. -
I'm no softie but this was an emotional experience, loved it. Awesome and yes amazing, a mindboggling relationship with the queens of the Zimbabwean/Hwange veld. Royalty all round in this elephant movie. Fascinating and somehow it makes you want to be a better person, certainly better for our animals and their world, and to somehow make it better for those incredible individuals who dedicate their lives to them. I think I fell in love to! All the President's Elephants - somehow get it see it, you will be left wanting more. -
And I thought this was going to be just another elephant doc**entary (of which I have probably seen hundreds). Wow, how wrong could I be. This is an ellie doc**entary like no other. For it to come out of Zimbabwe (with a South African filmcrew) is astonishing. Full credit to the inspirational Pincott woman who spends her life with Mugabe's elephants on the Hwange estate. Who knew there were amazing ellies on Forestry Commission land and their role too. Will they continue to care? I think so. Watch this inspiring film, sniff back tears, and laugh, and hold onto hope that the Zimbabwe government is not as bad as what you hear. You will definitely be amazed. -
This fantastic doc**entary premiered in Durban on 23/7/12. Its something very special. I have never seen anything quite like it. Who would have thought that the country of Zimbabwe had "amazing" wild elephants like these. And that the President Mugabe still takes the time to assign protection and status to them. Sharon Pincott in Hwange stars and is brilliant with the elephants she holds an incredible relationship with. There is a government minister that features to represent Mugabe and he is equally "amazing". AMAZING GRACE. No wonder this is the theme to this very stirring film. It will stay with you long after watching it.
