GHOST ELEPHANTS Interview: Werner Herzog and Dr. Steve Boyes Speak of Dreams, Ritual, and the Vast Mondo Wilderness

Herzog chronicles the sizeable expedition (with a delightful number of tangents and hanging out with the interesting locals) to film and photograph the Ghost Elephants, as well as trying to get a sample of their DNA with the help of Namibian and Luchazi master trackers, and a custom made arrow-head, across the difficult landscape of steep valleys, dense forests, and peat wetlands via Toyota off-road vehicles and small motorcycles, until eventually walking dozens of miles on foot.
