The race to save the last great elephant tuskers from a vanishing landscape.
“You immediately see the tenderness and deep respect director Jamie Joseph has for the elephants in the footage that she and her team captured. Our discussion around the score started with the emotions that she wanted to evoke in her story. The score had to guide us through an intimate insight of the elephant herd amongst the enormity of the Kenyan landscape and then underpin it all with a heaviness of the threat shadowing them.It felt like there was a steady grand majesty to the pictures. We wanted to colour the score with big inviting textures as well as leaving room for the wondrous up-closeness with these incredible beasts. The film looks beautiful. The music is an emotional tour guide. The message is stark but hopeful.” – Stephen Gallagher
