Through the 1970s and 1980s, elephant populations were mercilessly persecuted. But one individual would rise to stardom.
Echo, the bold and fiercely loyal matriarch, was fitted with a radio collar by Cynthia Moss in 1974, embarking on a 50-year journey that has revolutionised not only our understanding of elephants but also that of wildlife research itself.
At the heart of Echo's world, where the lines between humanity and the animal kingdom blur, unearth the universal language of emotion.
Elephants remember, as should you.
