Ganesha Elephas Maximus

In eastern Nepal, the majestic Asian elephant has coexisted with humans since ancient times. Yet, today, they clash over grain and land, leading to rising casualties on both sides. Amid this turmoil, Shankar Chettri Luitel has dedicated 25 years to fostering harmony between the species. The documentary captures the struggle, fleeting moments of joy, and the enduring hope for peaceful coexistence. Through this story, the film envisions a future where humans and elephants thrive together, united by mutual respect and understanding.
