Welcome to the official page for Where the Forest Roars, a powerful exploration of the delicate and often dangerous interplay between humans and elephants in the eastern Himalaya. Written and Directed by Kim Frank, this feature documentary takes you on a journey into the heart of a landscape where ancient migration routes collide with modern development, and where the majestic Asian elephant finds itself at the crossroads of survival and extinction.

In Where the Forest Roars, we invite you to step into a world where communities live side-by-side with some of Earth’s most intelligent and awe-inspiring creatures. From the once lush forests of North Bengal, within sight of Kanchenjunga (the 3rd highest mountain in the world), this film captures the fragile balance of coexistence through the eyes of those who experience it daily. Witness the courage of villagers striving to protect their crops and families, the wisdom of conservationists working tirelessly to preserve this keystone species, and the elephants themselves—ancient sentinels of the wild—whose presence shapes the land and lives around them.

Through stunning visuals and deeply personal stories, Where the Forest Roars reveals the intricate connections between humans and wildlife, asking urgent questions about how we can coexist in an era of rapid change. At its core, this is a story of resilience, respect, and the shared responsibility of ensuring that these magnificent creatures continue to thrive in the landscapes they’ve called home for millennia.

Join us as we explore the untamed beauty of the eastern Himalaya and the compelling challenges faced by both humans and elephants. This is more than a film—it’s a call to action to rethink our relationship with nature and to recognize the voices of those who live on the frontlines of conservation.
