Cher Attends Kat Kramer's Films That Change The World‏

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 11:30:00 +0000

As reported earlier this week on LookToTheStars.org, the third installment of Kat Kramer’s Films That Change the World featured the world premiere of the documentary “Elephants and Man: A Litany of Tragedy” at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood on Thursday, January 20.
 
 The film, executive produced by Melya Kaplan and directed by Jacek Kropinski, chronicles the history of elephants in captivity. Kaplan, founder of the nonprofit Voice for the Animals Foundation, contends that zoos and circuses are not capable of properly caring for elephants due to their size and their need for vast amounts of space in which to roam. Many celebrities have joined Kaplan in a campaign to persuade zoos to close elephant exhibits and transfer the pachyderms to larger sanctuaries.

Celebrities Attend Premiere of Elephants And Man: A Litany of Tragedy

Documentary film Elephants and Man: A Litany of Tragedy premiered last month, and several animal rights activists were there to show support – including Lily Tomlin, Cher, Ed Begley Jr. and Tippi Hedren.

The documentary outlines the “physical and emotional agony elephants have endured in captivity through the centuries.” In the film, zoo and animal specialists in several capacities speak about the business of zoos, conservation, education and practical problems, which all affect the mortality rates of elephants in captivity.

“This film clearly shows how elephants endure a lifetime of suffering when they are captured or bred to be put on exhibit for our momentary pleasure,” Tomlin said, according to Broadway World. “Ambulating is necessary to keep their feet and joints disease free and their mental state healthy and thriving. A sanctuary with hundreds of acres and the companionship of other elephants is the closest environment we can provide to their living in the wild.”
