Bi-coastal Premiere for Independent Documentary Film, “How I Became an Elephant”

“The film promises to be a paradigm shifting experience for many as it reveals the 'true' source of the suffering with the mission to save an threatened species,” said the film’s director, Tim Gorski. “As filmmakers, conservationists and humanitarians, we are compelled to tell this story to motivate audiences to join a movement to save the dwindling wild animal population and stop the use of elephants in entertainment,” he added.

“We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”

Thanks, t&tt, and we have posted a link on The Elephant Commentator Facebook.

When Juliette West set out on a quest to educate herself she got far more than she bargained for. How I Became an Elephant follows this wide-eyed fourteen year-old from suburban California on her quest to save the world’s largest land mammals; a quest that takes her halfway across the globe and face to face with the gentle giants she aims to save.

On her journey Juliette meets Asia’s famous “Elephant Lady,” Lek Chailert who has risked her life and freedom for more than three decades to protect elephants from illegal trade and abuse ...
