Description:
In 1994, Tyke, a circus elephant, broke free and went on a destructive rampage in Honolulu, killing her trainer before being shot to death. The event, captured on film from beginning to end, deeply affected the city and sparked a worldwide debate about using animals in entertainment. The documentary explores the factors that led to Tyke's outburst, speaking with those who knew her: former trainers, circus workers, witnesses to the incident, and animal rights advocates who made Tyke a symbol for their cause. Drawing parallels to "King Kong," the film tells a tragic yet ultimately compassionate story about trauma, anger, understanding, and our complex relationship with other animals. It ultimately poses profound questions about humanity's connection to the animal kingdom.
