Free Passage to Angola
Running Time:   1 x 52 mins

Angola is witnessing a giant homecoming. After decades of civil war, elephants are returning to the now peaceful country on ancestral routes, which have laid dormant for over thirty years. Scientists and locals are watching with surprise at how thousands of elephants are re-populating southeast Angola, although the area is apparently still riddled with landmines. 

How are the elephants avoiding them? Can these elephants be trained to detect landmines and therefore assist in the safe clearing?  These elephant trails are also paving the way for other animals and people, giving them safe access to long lost homes and resources. This film tells the story of peace and resettlement in Angola and the challenge of both elephants and people reclaiming their long lost land and living together.
