Elephant people is a compassionate look at elephant conservation in Africa from a novel perspective. This time not the elephants but the people who are confronted with the huge task of conserving the elephants as well as living alongside the largest land mammals on earth are the centre of attention. The documentary reveals how elephant conservation is a thorny issue for many African people living in close contact with these large animals that are admired and loved by many animal activists around the globe. "Elephant People" portraits a nearly forgotten "conflict zone" in countries like Zimbabwe and Kenya and explores the different approaches the two countries engage to deal with the situation.
