In Walking Thunder, documentary filmmakers travel with their young son Lysander across East Africa, filming over the course of 10 years as they observe the role of the elephant and its own rapidly changing reality. "The film Walking Thunder is an outstanding achievement. The time and talent dedicated over a 10-year span has resulted in a mesmerizing portrait of the wild Africa that still remains, despite increasing pressure from both the wildlife trafficking trade and the ever-growing human population. We must do all that is in our power to ensure that these incredible animals can remain in their habitat whilst ensuring that the human animals with whom they share the continent can also survive in dignity." ~ Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder, The Jane Goodall Institute & U.N.
