44th Annual International Wildlife Film Festival-"Shaba" with Ami Vitale
Robert Chase visits with Missoula film maker Ami Vitale, Director of "Shaba", screening April 17th through May 15th as part of the International Wildlife Film Festival (IWFF) in Missoula.
In the mountains of northern Kenya, a Samburu community is doing something that has never been done before, building a sanctuary for orphaned elephants to rehabilitate them back to the wild. The project is not just changing attitudes about elephants, it's changing attitudes about women too; the secret to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary’s success is the special bond between a group of women keepers and one special elephant named Shaba.
