This post describes a recently-produced documentary film about the journey of Flora, the circus elephant. Flora was obtained by the circus at a very early age, and performed for 16 years before her owner decided that it would be better for her to return to some semblance of a 'normal' elephant life. It sounds straightforward, but it was 9 year process with many ups and downs. A truly spectacular film, you'll be surprised at how emotional the story is. High recommend!
