Master Werner Herzog Captures the Mystery... 'Ghost Elephants' Premieres on Disney+ March 8

The remarkable record of nature presented by the master of German cinema, Werner Herzog, is coming.

Premiering on Disney+ on March 8, 〈Ghost Elephants〉 captures the decade-long journey of conservation biologist and National Geographic explorer Dr. Steve Boyce as he tracks a massive herd of elephants in the remote highlands of Angola. Notably, the process of the research team collecting DNA samples from living 'White Elephants' to trace their mysterious origins and lineage dramatically reveals secrets of the ecosystem that humanity has yet to discover.

The most significant feature of this work is the unique aesthetic of director Werner Herzog. Having won awards at the Cannes Film Festival twice, he vividly captures the dynamic movements of elephants using low-angle and wide-angle lenses. Breaking away from the typical format of National Geographic documentaries, he combines dense close-up shots with grand music to provide an artistic experience akin to watching a film.

〈Ghost Elephants〉 has achieved a 100% freshness rating on the review site Rotten Tomatoes, earning the title of 'A Must-See Well-Made Documentary of the Year.' The narrative of the mysterious wilderness and the relentless spirit of human inquiry meet in 〈Ghost Elephants〉, which can be enjoyed on Disney+ starting March 8.
