The premiere of the documentary film "The Elephant Odyssey", which follows the improbable journey of the wandering Asian elephants in southwest China's Yunnan Province that captivated viewers around the world, was held in Beijing on Wednesday. In March 2020, the elephants left a forest nature reserve in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and trekked about 500 km northwards to the provincial capital Kunming, arriving in June 2021. They have since headed south again, arriving safely back at the nature reserve. The film is a collaborative effort between film institutions from China, Canada and Singapore, representing a valuable attempt to tell the story of China's ecological conservation.
