Ghost Elephants

For ten years, Dr Steve Boyes has been searching for a mysterious and elusive herd of ghost elephants in the highland plateaus of Angola. He sets off with Namibian tracking experts, the best in the world, but a basic question arises: wouldn’t it be better to keep these gigantic elephants as a dream, rather than find them in reality? An exploration of dreams and imagination confronted with reality, which took Werner Herzog to what the local tribes call the Land at the End of the Earth.

After meeting Steve Boyes, an unexpected project that felt like the hunt for Moby Dick, the White Whale, came at me with great urgency. Like many of my films, this is an exploration of dreams, of imagination — weighed against reality. The film took me to what the local tribesmen call the Land at the End of the Earth. (Werner Herzog)
