For India, today is a historic day!
In the category of “Best Documentary Short Film,” the Indian documentary “Elephant Whisperers” received the Oscar. Director Kartiki Gonsalves and producer Guneet Monga walked the stage to accept the award. The documentary triumphed against “Stranger At The Gate,” “How Do You Measure A Year,” “Haul Out,” and other films.
In Tamil Nadu’s Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, a family adopts two juvenile elephants that are abandoned. This is the plot of the movie.
Guneet Monga has taken the Oscar to India before, so this isn’t the first time. The documentary “Period. End of Sentence” by Guneet Monga won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Subject in 2019.
