First let me say I congratulate Cher and all the others who saved this elephant for their actions. That is laudable. Now lets look at the documentary.

It is flat and empty. Cher's part is almost a walk-on. Despite her being instrumental in clearing away all the red tape: from dealing with the zoo to the airlines to the transportation team to the government where the elephant was to the government where the elephant was given sanctuary to the sanctuary itself I have no doubt it was Cher's celebrity that opened all those closed doors BUT the documentary barely even mentions those things.

We see a lot of the elephant in its original zoo. Most of the film is about getting the elephant ready to transport. Then we see a little of the transportation and less of after the elephant was relocated into a temporary holding pen. They tell us how great the temporary holding pen is compared to the miserable conditions it lived its life in. We are told of how that elephant will be released into a virtual paradise. We see a little of that paradise and how great its life will be. And then the documentary ends with the elephant in that temporary facility. Smh

Why didn't they spend time focusing on the urgent problems, chronologically, and Cher's role in the diplomacy required to solve them? That would have added a dramatic element and actually given Cher enough credit, and screen time, to be mentioned in the title.

Why didn't they show us the elephant happily living in the sanctuary interacting with other elephants and enjoying its freedom?

It looks more like someone decided, at the very last minute, to cobble together a documentary and didn't have any time to plan it properly from the beginning or to follow it through to a satisfying ending.

This could have been an very uplifting film - enjoyable for all to see. Instead it is a mess that ends flat leaving the viewers wishing they could see the elephant enjoying its freedom.

For those, and other reasons, this documentary simply misses the mark.

A very heart warming story from beginning to end. Thank you Cher and crew for saving Kaavan.

I was like: Why do we need a movir about a celebrity saving an elephant for?

The fact is that this documentary is much, much more than that. Cher is considered one of the best actresses and singers of the history, but what few people know is that this great woman does a million good deeds and a lot of people forget about that.

This story, however, is much more than a good deed. It is about saving Kaavan, a wonderful Elephant imprisoned and alone for more than 30 years. And we need to watch this feature film to learn that he's one of many, and with love and dedication, as Cher presents throughout this adventure, we can manage to save many other animals trapped.

In cinematic terms, I believe that this documentary will take many Emmys for the wonderful production, from cinematography to soundtrack, from content to editing, from the making of the film to its poster. Is just pure amazing docu-cinema.

Just watch this movie that you will not regret.
