What a wonderful job you have, and a wonderful job you did. I am still a novice nature photographer, but this episode inspires me to do what I can to document and preserve that bit of nature in my own backyard and my community. I would love, someday to have an opportunity to go on a trip with someone like him and experience the same thing. Thank you for a beautiful story and the time you've given to both the elephants and us for this documentation. I love this episode and have it saved on my DVR.

I am a big fan of Cynthia Moss and purchased her earlier two films. I was very glad to view this new film on PBS. I hope Martyn does more films not only of elephants but other wildlife. I enjoyed listening to his comments. Excellent documentary! I am a big fan of Cynthia Moss and purchased her earlier two films. I was very glad to view this new film on PBS.

We sat transfixed throughout the entire hour. Afterwards I immediately ran to my computer to make a donation to our local PBS station. Thank you, Martyn and everyone at PBS that helped bring this amazing film into our home. This was an incredible documentary about one of my favorite animal species.

I'd like to see the other two episodes on Echo and her clan. All through, I could not help thinking of an article in the NY Times Magazine about a year ago titled, "Are we making elephants crazy?" It was a staggering account of how the impact of man has unsettled these gentle creatures and how, in self defense, they have occasionally lashed out towards man. All the while, they have the same connection to us that we have with them--I'd recommend that article to anyone who loved this show, as we did.

I have an anewed admiration for elephants and also an active interest of the current happenings of this family. What happened to Enid's calf after she died? Did this calf survive long after her death? Also was Echo's son Ely ever seen again? This documentary on Echo and her family does not feel complete, but perhaps it would never feel complete unless a life time of Echo's existence was followed documented.
