The story follows Ashley Bell and Asian elephant conservationist Sangdeaun Lek Chailert on a mission to get a 70-year old partially blind elephant home.
PUBLISHED JUL 18, 2018

Ashley Bell's latest documentary 'Love & Bananas: An Elephant Story' will premier on Starz this month. Bell is the talent behind films like 'The Last Exorcism I & II,' 'Carnage Park' and 'Novitiate.' The documentary film, shot in Thailand, tries to chronicle the plight of these gentle giants through her lens for the world to see. The film aims to show the world how under the pretext of tourism and entertainment, Asian elephants are slowly becoming a rarity. Their life-threatening, soul-crushing domestication is painful, to say the least, and the worst part - all of their pain is completely neglected.

"If we want to protect them...we have to do it right now," says world-renowned Asian elephant conservationist, Sangdeaun Lek Chailert, who features in the documentary.
