Echo: An Unforgettable Elephant
BBC Natural World 2010 - a 60-minute film produced and directed by Mike Birkhead, narrated by Sir David Attenborough
As head of her family, Echo carried immense experience gained by her forebears over centuries. But the final test of a matriarch is whether she passes on that knowledge.
This film reflects on the life of a remarkable elephant and discovers what happens to the family, bereft of Echo's leadership for the first time in almost half a century. David's music features the sublime cello playing of Kate Gould.
