Flying Elephants – A Mother’s Hope is a multi-award-winning film by Prakash Matada. The short film on Asiatic Elephants is inspired by a mythological story from the ancient Hindu book ‘Gajashastra’. The film is narrated in Betta kuruba language, a dialect of Kannada spoken by the tribals residing along the South Western border of Mysore. Although considered sacred, elephants are being decimated across Asia. The film sheds light on these sensitive, emotional, and socially intelligent creatures that rightfully deserve their place in the natural world. Flying Elephants was launched on social media platforms on World Elephant Day, 2021. It collectively reached up to 100 Million followers with support from celebrities and influencers globally, including the honourable Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.
