Ghost Elephants Review: Werner Herzog Continues to Reach for the Unknown in Hopeful Nat Geo Doc

It’s not surprising that Herzog was drawn to film this story about a legendary animal and the man who has spent over ten years trying to find it. Beyond being a hopeful tale from Africa, the man’s journey gives Herzog a perfect opportunity to share his signature thoughtful observations. Ghost Elephants feels like a personal diary, moving away from typical documentary styles to explore deeper themes of survival, science, instinct, and what it means to be human.
