Last of the Elephant Men

The Bunong people of Cambodia share a profound bond with elephants. This unique relationship is at the core of the tribe's identity and is the result of skills passed between breeders over centuries. Sadly, their mystical connection with these majestic animals is threatened by deforestation and development that continues to encroach on their traditional lands. Now, dependent on foreign tourists seeking exotic thrills, their indigenous livelihood and cultural heritage is disappearing.
