Lucy: The Stolen Lives of Elephants – Interview with Fern Levitt

Lucy: The Stolen Lives of Elephants Is Already Making Changes

Gilbert Speaks on Fern Levitt’s Documentary, ‘Lucy: The Stolen Lives of Elephants’

“The understanding that animals in their natural habitat lead a healthier life than caged and displayed animals is, I hope, a generalization that everyone can agree on. Even though this is safe to assume, seeing comparative footage of these two examples can act as such an eye-opener.”

“Lucy: The Stolen Lives of Elephants makes it undeniably clear how human greed can blind us to the suffering of other living beings.”

RATING: ★★★★☆

“When elephants can’t speak for themselves, this gentle giant deserves people like Les and Fern to make the world aware there’s still backward thinking going on in all corners of the industry.”

RATING: ★★★★☆

“A heartrending story of the plight of captive elephants that hits home.”

RATING: ★★★★☆

“This is not the sort of film that one can simply walk away from without seeing things differently.”

RATING: ★★★★☆

“Growing up, most of us have been fascinated by animals and would marvel at them during our trips to the zoo. Lucy: The Stolen Lives of Elephants gives us a look behind the curtain of these attractions and question their very existence.”

RATING: A-
