Andrew Malcolm, Producer and Director. North America Premiere at the 2021 WCFF.

SYNOPSIS:
Saving Giants presents "Malelane", the story of a historic rescue effort to translocate five African elephants from inevitable death. In June of 2020 five elephants broke out of their reserve in Mpulanga, South Africa and began
crossing a national highway. This posed an outstanding problem for South African
authorities. Do nothing, and it was only a matter of time before a road accident occurred, which may come at the cost of a human life. For the government, two options remained. The first, to shoot the animals. The second, to attempt a lightning fast emergency-rescue effort to move the animals to safety.

In an attempt to save the animals' lives, a team of legendary conservationists, including Kester Vickery (Conservation Solutions), Dr. Dave Cooper (KZN Wildlife), Dr. Peter Rodgers (Pro Vet), Dereck Milburn (Aspinall Foundation), and bush helicopter pilot Jana Meyer, mobilized a rescue party, with record setting
speed. A project which would normally take months to plan, was mobilized in three
days. The objective, to solve the problem by translocating the animals to safety before an accident or a rifle did. "Malelane" follows their story of ingenuity and perseverance over those three days.

The WCFF mission is to inform, engage and inspire wildlife conservation through the power of film.
