Beware of documentaries based on emotion and not facts.
I would have preferred to give this a zero but I can’t.I don’t know if Ms.Bell was emotionally indoctrinated by Lek or just misinformed but her quote of “Every elephant baby goes through the phajaan or crush” is a blatant lie. The ‘phajaan’ actually means to separate or divorce and with domesticated elephants there is a cultural ceremony with Monks and chanting and is quite tender and emotional,Youngsters learn from their mothers and siblings The same as humans and other animals, The “crush footage was filmed, I think, in 2002 and was proven after a Police investigation to have been a set up by certain individuals and AR groups. ‘In the early 2000s, Lek filmed undercover footage of what it takes to break an elephant’s spirit and turn a wild Asian elephant into one docile enough to give rides and perform at shows. The process is known as pajan, aka the “crush box” and it was one of Southeast Asia’s best-kept secrets.’ This quote was written by Ashley Bell herself, which means that Ashley received this information directly from Lek. Since Lek filmed the footage herself, as stated in the above quote, why didn’t She do anything to help the elephant calf that was being tortured? She proceeded to film the ‘undercover footage’. Did she even consider calling the police to inform them that this evil torturing was going on.If someone loves elephants that is the first thing one should do Elephants are sacred in Thailand and the Police would have been there in a flash. An outright falsehood like this is in the film helps no one least of all the elephants. I particularly liked the part where she wipes her dry eyed ‘crocodile tears’ from her eyes with her shirt. Sorry Ms.Bell but I believe you were conned. There are plenty of scientifically based sites on the internet that people should read and then have fact based reasoning rather than an emotional one.
Excellent – Really Emotional, Touching and Inspiring Documentary
I recently watched Love and Bananas – An Elephant Story and was totally captivated by this documentary. It is about a 70 year old Blind Elephant called Noi Na, and it is her story of being taken out of the Tourist/ Zoo environment and transported to a Freedom Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand. I fell in love with Noi Na and her story brought me to tears. I was so happy that after all the turmoil that she has gone through, she is now Free. What a wonderful documentary. I totally recommend this documentary to any animal lover. There is just 1 problem that I had and that was that the dvd quality is not very good. It would have been nice to have this in HD or Bluray. The documentary still gets a 10 out of 10 from me though.
