Join Little Foot and her elephant family as they brave the harsh Namib Desert in Southwest Africa and  embark on a journey to an oasis that remains green even through the toughest times. The resilience and familial strength of this species will leave viewers with an inspiring example of survival, adaptation and renewed hope.  

In the southwest corner of Africa, the Namib Desert — one of the driest places on Earth — is an unexpected haven for a few extraordinary creatures, including the largest land mammals on the planet — desert elephants.

These elephants, once more than a million strong, have dwindled to a few hundred; despite this, hope lives on through an elephant calf named Little Foot, the newest member of a family of grazers.

As viewers follow Little Foot’s adventures, they witness the incredible abilities elephants possess that have helped them survive the harsh conditions of the Namib Desert for generations. From foreseeing sandstorms to finding underground aquifers, this film offers an inspiring example of survival, adaptation and renewed hope.
