One Lucky Elephant

****
A sometimes sweet and sometimes sad documentary, Lisa Leeman's 2010 documentry has no real twists like we've come to expect from docs these days but it's no worse off for it. Flora the Elephant is just as much a character than the larger than live circus owners who brought her up. I suppose the situation isn't particularly ordinary in the sense that this happens all the time with house-hold pets, it's just that most house-hold pets aren't as big as your house. Recommended, especially if like me you love Elephants. It might just make you respect the Circus again too.
