1
00:00:03,294 --> 00:00:06,756
The wildest places on
our planet have always been

00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,010
home to powerful leaders.
3
00:00:11,136 --> 00:00:15,515

the Queens.
18
00:01:00,101 --> 00:01:05,398
The African savannah is home to
the ultimate animal sisterhood.
19
00:01:07,358 --> 00:01:09,319
When a new baby is born,
20
00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:13,656
her survival depends on
the strength of her family.

26
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:39,808
Herds are made up of related
adult females and their young.
27
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:48,483
Front and center
is the matriarch... Taji.
28
00:01:48,983 --> 00:01:52,403
At 45, she's the oldest...
29
00:01:53,738 --> 00:01:56,449
chosen to lead...
30
00:01:56,991 --> 00:02:01,037
for her experience,
judgment, and charisma.
31
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,422
Today...
32
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,846
there's a new member
of the sisterhood.
33
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:27,564
Overnight, Taji's daughter,
Kike, had her first calf.
34
00:02:32,735 --> 00:02:35,572
This is Binti.
35
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:41,953
Only a few hours old,
and already on her feet.
36
00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:50,044
She'll be especially
vulnerable in her first year.
37
00:02:52,881 --> 00:02:56,551
Taji welcomes her
granddaughter to the family.
38
00:03:01,472 --> 00:03:05,935
Grandmothers watch out for
babies born to first-time moms.
39
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:21,534
Everyone's excited
to meet the calf.
40
00:03:27,790 --> 00:03:31,628
Touch is an elephant's
love language...
41
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,382
But 20 relatives fussing...
42
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:40,220
is pretty overwhelming.
43
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:00,031
In the commotion,
44
00:04:00,114 --> 00:04:03,368
Binti's been
separated from Kike,
45
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:08,957
and she needs mom's first
rich milk to build up strength.
46
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,170
Kike should keep
Binti by her side,
47
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:17,340
but first-time elephant
mothers don't always have
48
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:20,510
the best instincts.
49
00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:27,433
Binti's vision is still blurry.
50
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:45,868
She's found a nipple...
51
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:51,082
but there's no
milk for her here...
52
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,627
it's her grandma.
53
00:04:58,798 --> 00:05:03,177
Taji is quick to
correct Binti's mistake.
54
00:05:08,599 --> 00:05:12,020
She knows if Binti
can't find her mother,
55
00:05:12,103 --> 00:05:15,815
she won't last long.
56
00:05:25,783 --> 00:05:29,912
Taji's tough...
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:32,749
but she's not cruel.
58
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:50,683
She helps her
granddaughter up...
59
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:08,534
and gives her a push,
in the right direction.
60
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:28,262
Binti finally
finds her mother...
61
00:06:31,099 --> 00:06:33,976
and has her first feed.
62
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:44,570
The next few months
will be tough.
63
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:48,533
Taji needs to lead the family...
64
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:51,619
but she'll also have
to watch over Binti,
65
00:06:51,702 --> 00:06:55,748
while Kike learns how
to look after her.
66
00:06:56,374 --> 00:07:00,461
Binti could grow up to be
her family's future matriarch,
67
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:06,592
but for now, they just
need to keep her alive.
68
00:07:15,393 --> 00:07:19,480
After dark, the savanna
is a whole new world
69
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:22,900
for Binti to explore.
70
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:31,075
She's just starting to get a
feel for her incredible senses.
71
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:42,336
Smell helps her stick close
to her mother in the darkness.
72
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:52,680
Her tactile trunk can feel the
tiniest nicks in a tree branch.
73
00:07:59,061 --> 00:08:05,067
And with those ears,
Binti's hearing is outstanding.
74
00:08:09,447 --> 00:08:12,909
Taji keeps the family moving...
75
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:16,913
such big animals need
to eat around the clock.
76
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,337
But there are
dangers in the dark.
77
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:39,227
Taji keeps the herd together.
78
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:47,944
The lions won't waste their
energy on this great grey mass.
79
00:08:50,446 --> 00:08:52,990
But there are others...
80
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:56,452
who can see an opportunity.
81
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:05,086
Binti smells something
unfamiliar on the wind.
82
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:10,007
The adults recognize
it immediately.
83
00:09:15,846 --> 00:09:19,642
One hyena is no threat...
84
00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:23,020
but it's never just one hyena.
85
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:30,027
This clan has a lot
of new mouths to feed.
86
00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:43,833
A newborn like Binti
is the perfect target.
87
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:52,341
Taji pulls back...
88
00:09:56,345 --> 00:09:58,764
Calling the herd to
create a protective wall
89
00:09:58,848 --> 00:10:01,767
around her granddaughter.
90
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:10,818
With hyenas
approaching on all sides,
91
00:10:12,653 --> 00:10:14,488
the elephants... panic.
92
00:10:26,375 --> 00:10:28,502
Kike and Binti have
been separated...
93
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:33,215
and surrounded.
94
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:40,556
Across the pan, Taji
fights alongside the
95
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,433
rest of the family...
96
00:10:42,516 --> 00:10:46,395
unaware of the danger
Kike and Binti are in.
97
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:57,281
Binti instinctively feels
safest beneath her mother...
98
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:02,161
But her safe
place keeps moving.
99
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:25,768
Kike fends off
hyenas from all sides.
100
00:11:32,983 --> 00:11:35,403
She cries out for help.
101
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:41,909
And Taji...
102
00:11:44,078 --> 00:11:46,372
comes running.
103
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:02,096
Taji calls to
head for the forest,
104
00:12:05,349 --> 00:12:08,769
while she sees off
hyenas at the rear.
105
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:17,903
Binti struggles to keep up
with the rest of the herd...
106
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:29,039
As Taji urges them forward,
107
00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:32,293
she's lost sight of
her granddaughter...
108
00:12:35,171 --> 00:12:38,758
the hyenas have
something on the ground.
109
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:45,806
Binti's squeal sends her
grandmother out fighting.
110
00:13:01,238 --> 00:13:05,618
Taji and Kike unite
to rescue their baby.
111
00:13:49,537 --> 00:13:55,626
Binti's exhausted... but alive.
112
00:14:10,724 --> 00:14:14,812
She's understandably
wary of new faces...
113
00:14:16,897 --> 00:14:20,067
But baboons are
helpful neighbors.
114
00:14:23,821 --> 00:14:26,866
Palm nuts make a
delicious breakfast
115
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:29,785
for the weary warriors.
116
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:38,711
And Kike's being much
more attentive...
117
00:14:41,505 --> 00:14:45,676
after last night, she's
keeping her daughter close.
118
00:14:52,766 --> 00:14:56,645
Now they can rest.
119
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:05,779
Binti's so tired she
falls asleep standing...
120
00:15:07,156 --> 00:15:11,243
Taji's not napping,
she's listening.
121
00:15:17,499 --> 00:15:19,627
Elephants sense the
low-frequency calls of
122
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:23,380
other elephants from
up to six miles away.
123
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:31,263
Taji can't tell who it is,
124
00:15:31,347 --> 00:15:34,934
or what they're
saying from so far away,
125
00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:37,895
but something's up, and
she wants to go to them.
126
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:43,651
Elephants are democratic,
127
00:15:43,734 --> 00:15:48,197
so she needs to get
the family on board.
128
00:15:49,031 --> 00:15:51,241
Binti listens as her
grandmother makes her
129
00:15:51,325 --> 00:15:54,745
case to the elder females.
130
00:15:56,372 --> 00:15:58,707
They rumble back and forth...
131
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:01,877
discussing...
132
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:04,922
negotiating.
133
00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:09,677
Binti hasn't learned
any of this language yet.
134
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,014
Though the outcome
is clear enough...
135
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:16,183
they go.
136
00:16:20,396 --> 00:16:23,482
The family trusts in Taji...
137
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:27,236
she draws on ancient wisdom,
138
00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:31,115
passed down from
matriarchs before her.
139
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:35,703
Binti will inherit all
this knowledge one day...
140
00:16:35,786 --> 00:16:40,374
for now, she just
needs to keep up.
141
00:16:59,518 --> 00:17:01,437
Taji can now
recognize the calls
142
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,314
coming from beyond the river.
143
00:17:04,398 --> 00:17:07,693
She finds the safest crossing.
144
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:28,464
Bringing up the rear,
145
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:30,466
it's Kike's job to
show her daughter how to
146
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:33,761
cross the river.
147
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:37,723
Binti goes to
catch up with Taji...
148
00:17:37,806 --> 00:17:40,350
but Kike holds her back.
149
00:17:44,438 --> 00:17:48,275
The river is swollen
after the rains.
150
00:17:51,862 --> 00:17:56,283
If she is caught by the
current, she could drown...
151
00:17:56,992 --> 00:17:59,745
or worse.
152
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:06,668
Binti's cousin hangs
back to help...
153
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:10,964
Together, they flank Binti.
154
00:18:26,897 --> 00:18:31,110
The water's deep, and fast.
155
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,630
Even Kike struggles
against the current...
156
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:06,937
Only her foot, stops
Binti being washed away.
157
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:42,764
From this side of the river,
158
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:46,310
the other family's
calls are loud and clear.
159
00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:51,356
Not just one...
160
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,527
tens of families are
marching across the plains
161
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:58,197
to be together.
162
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:09,791
A mass gathering that only
happens a few times a year.
163
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:30,604
Binti's own sisterhood is
part of a much bigger clan...
164
00:20:34,316 --> 00:20:38,320
Extended family,
and old friends.
165
00:20:40,864 --> 00:20:44,493
Some haven't seen
each other for years.
166
00:20:44,993 --> 00:20:49,039
These gatherings are a
rare opportunity to catch up.
167
00:20:54,002 --> 00:20:56,880
This is a special time...
168
00:20:56,964 --> 00:20:59,758
the savanna is
lush after the rains.
169
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:19,611
For now, it's
'all you can eat'...
170
00:21:21,321 --> 00:21:25,409
and they can enjoy
each other's company.
171
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:31,331
The younger elephants let loose.
172
00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:37,963
Even Binti's in the spirit.
173
00:21:41,925 --> 00:21:45,887
Until... something unfamiliar.
174
00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:56,064
The boys are joining the party.
175
00:21:57,649 --> 00:22:02,487
Bull elephants sure know
how to make an entrance!
176
00:22:05,198 --> 00:22:07,743
Over 45 times Binti's size...
177
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:15,459
they're the largest
animals she's ever seen!
178
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:19,504
Some want to throw
their weight around.
179
00:22:27,804 --> 00:22:32,392
Others pay their respects,
to their mothers.
180
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:37,981
This bull is one of
Taji's first calves.
181
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:42,944
He now towers over his mom,
182
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:47,783
though he's not
too big for a cuddle.
183
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:52,746
Like all males, he left
the family as a teenager
184
00:22:52,829 --> 00:22:56,708
to live a mostly solitary life.
185
00:22:59,002 --> 00:23:04,383
Binti will spend her life
surrounded by family.
186
00:23:06,301 --> 00:23:11,264
These gatherings build
connections between sisterhoods.
187
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,229
She starts to reach out.
188
00:23:30,617 --> 00:23:34,037
The friendships she makes
now will last a lifetime...

200
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:35,307
Months have passed...
201
00:24:36,808 --> 00:24:40,770
a dry season now
follows the rains.
202
00:24:48,945 --> 00:24:52,199
Binti is six months old.
203
00:24:52,282 --> 00:24:55,994
She's stronger and
growing in confidence,
204
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:03,001
but 'The Dry' has its
own hard lessons...
205
00:25:11,259 --> 00:25:13,803
At this time of year,
206
00:25:13,887 --> 00:25:15,764
the family sticks close
207
00:25:15,847 --> 00:25:19,142
to dependable water.
208
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:26,441
Taji covers herself in mud.
209
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:37,160
Her wrinkles are a gift...
210
00:25:37,244 --> 00:25:42,332
they retain up to ten times
more water than smooth skin...
211
00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:46,670
helping her stay cool.
212
00:25:48,964 --> 00:25:52,050
It's all in the application...
213
00:25:52,842 --> 00:25:56,846
Binti needs to work
on her technique.
214
00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:05,230
Sunscreen on, it's time to eat.
215
00:26:08,358 --> 00:26:12,529
Binti settles into the
steady rhythm of the season.
216
00:26:15,782 --> 00:26:17,367
The family drinks,
217
00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:21,121
and then they walk to
find what food they can.
218
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:29,754
Lush grass is a
distant memory...
219
00:26:30,964 --> 00:26:35,343
you take what you get,
and you don't grumble.
220
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:36,886
♪ That's not easy nah ♪
221
00:26:36,970 --> 00:26:38,346

Then you walk
again, back to water.
226
00:26:55,363 --> 00:26:59,868
Each adult needs to
drink around 50 gallons a day.
227
00:27:04,539 --> 00:27:06,124
It's no time to play.
228
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:07,917

234

These treks are
tough on Binti...
235
00:27:20,221 --> 00:27:23,099
A lesson in resilience.
236
00:27:26,770 --> 00:27:29,648
Binti's still
dependent on milk,
237
00:27:29,731 --> 00:27:33,151
and Kike can only provide
it if she's drinking.
238
00:27:33,234 --> 00:27:34,819

239
00:27:34,903 --> 00:27:36,071

So they
keep on moving.
243
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:48,958
Taji has been navigating
the dry months for decades...
244
00:27:49,042 --> 00:27:51,503
She has a mental map
245
00:27:51,586 --> 00:27:54,631
of ancient
elephant pathways,
246
00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:57,425
that will lead the
family to what they need.
247
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,473
With every step,
Binti's learning it too.
248
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:12,565
At the next waterhole...
249
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:22,701
only mud.
250
00:28:37,841 --> 00:28:42,595
Climate change is making the
dry seasons more extreme.
251
00:28:45,598 --> 00:28:48,977
Taji remembers water here...
252
00:28:49,686 --> 00:28:52,313
but relying on memory
only works when the world
253
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:55,316
stays the same.
254
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:02,115
The family looks to Taji.
255
00:29:03,616 --> 00:29:05,452
She chooses...
256
00:29:05,535 --> 00:29:07,620
a new route.
257
00:29:10,081 --> 00:29:14,335
Taji knows a natural
spring close by.
258
00:29:39,194 --> 00:29:44,741
Now a village
surrounds the spring.
259
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:51,539
In the dry months,
water is needed by everyone.
260
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:58,004
It's so tempting.
261
00:30:07,096 --> 00:30:11,100
Binti has never
seen people before...
262
00:30:15,605 --> 00:30:19,275
she senses Taji's caution.
263
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:22,362
Taji knows humans,
but she wasn't expecting
264
00:30:22,445 --> 00:30:25,490
to find them here.
265
00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:31,913
Her mental map is out of date.
266
00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:38,002
She calls the family away.
267
00:30:43,049 --> 00:30:47,387
This is an important
lesson for Binti.
268
00:30:48,429 --> 00:30:51,099
As she grows up,
navigating people
269
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:54,477
will become ever more common.
270
00:30:56,396 --> 00:30:59,440
Elephants rely
on old wisdom,
271
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:03,069
but their home is changing fast.
272
00:31:20,086 --> 00:31:22,255
Africa's human
population has more than
273
00:31:22,338 --> 00:31:26,509
tripled in Taji's lifetime.
274
00:31:32,807 --> 00:31:36,978
Every year, more savanna
is turned to farmland....
275
00:31:37,061 --> 00:31:40,857
cutting through ancient
elephant pathways.
276
00:31:46,029 --> 00:31:50,783
The world's largest land
animal is running out of space.
277
00:32:25,735 --> 00:32:29,322
The family walks
on into the night...
278
00:32:29,405 --> 00:32:33,409
It's cooler, easier to travel.
279
00:32:43,670 --> 00:32:46,047
After almost two days
without a drink,
280
00:32:48,841 --> 00:32:52,804
finally Taji gets
them to a waterhole.
281
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:07,986
It's a magnet...
282
00:33:13,199 --> 00:33:16,577
for everyone.
283
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:35,596
Taji's now on edge.
284
00:33:37,056 --> 00:33:41,894
Lions aren't a threat when her
family is well-fed and strong,
285
00:33:43,271 --> 00:33:46,649
but it's a different
story now...
286
00:33:47,066 --> 00:33:50,695
They are tired and weak...
287
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:55,366
And the lions can see it.
288
00:34:03,291 --> 00:34:08,171
Taji watches closely,
weighing up the risk.
289
00:34:12,091 --> 00:34:15,094
But Kike's protective
instincts are in full force.
290
00:34:21,976 --> 00:34:25,146
She wants the lions
away from her daughter.
291
00:34:27,565 --> 00:34:30,735
But they're not going anywhere.
292
00:34:35,782 --> 00:34:38,409
The family is still thirsty...
293
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:41,954
but it's just too dangerous.
294
00:34:43,206 --> 00:34:46,292
Taji calls them away.
295
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:51,923
She's not gotten Binti this far,
only to lose her now.
296
00:35:06,896 --> 00:35:10,066
The rains should have come...
297
00:35:11,651 --> 00:35:16,948
this is a drought,
the worst in 40 years.
298
00:35:25,373 --> 00:35:29,627
The elephants huddle in
the only shade they can find.
299
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:41,806
Without water,
Kike's milk is drying up.
300
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:48,146
A drought in a calf's first
year is often a death sentence.
301
00:36:17,008 --> 00:36:19,468
There's no water here,
302
00:36:19,552 --> 00:36:23,973
but the family has come
across something they recognize.
303
00:36:25,391 --> 00:36:29,103
Only one animal has
a skull this big.
304
00:36:32,398 --> 00:36:36,277
Elephants seem to know the
remains of their own...
305
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,280
this was an adult female...
306
00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:45,661
likely a matriarch
that Taji knew.
307
00:36:47,246 --> 00:36:51,292
She leads the family...
308
00:36:53,586 --> 00:36:56,714
they encircle the bones.
309
00:37:02,553 --> 00:37:07,767
They fall silent, as
each elephant takes their
310
00:37:07,850 --> 00:37:11,187
turn to touch them.
311
00:37:19,695 --> 00:37:23,824
They don't shield
Binti from the ritual.
312
00:37:34,377 --> 00:37:37,755
Droughts that used to
occur once a decade,
313
00:37:37,838 --> 00:37:41,759
now happen every few years.
314
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:49,350
The youngest and
the oldest elephants
315
00:37:49,433 --> 00:37:52,812
are especially vulnerable.
316
00:37:54,522 --> 00:37:58,317
The loss of a matriarch;
317
00:37:59,151 --> 00:38:04,991
her knowledge, experience,
and leadership...
318
00:38:05,992 --> 00:38:09,287
is devastating.
319
00:38:11,205 --> 00:38:15,084
The family can't
afford to lose Taji...
320
00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:17,586
especially Binti.
321
00:38:25,011 --> 00:38:28,222
They must move on.
322
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:41,319
Taji makes time for
a final goodbye...
323
00:38:41,402 --> 00:38:45,197
to her old friend.
324
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:58,085
The matriarch delves
into her memory.
325
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:00,129
There's a river...
326
00:39:04,884 --> 00:39:09,221
But right on the outer
reaches of their range...
327
00:39:12,308 --> 00:39:16,562
it will be a long
journey and a risk.
328
00:39:17,980 --> 00:39:21,484
Taji must trust that this path,
329
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:24,070
carved into the
savanna by all the elephants
330
00:39:24,153 --> 00:39:28,407
that have gone before,
will save them.
331
00:39:31,285 --> 00:39:34,288

♪ Feet, don't fail me now ♪♪
340
00:40:11,325 --> 00:40:14,203
And something
she doesn't recognize.
341
00:40:19,625 --> 00:40:23,254
Taji's never seen
anything like this before.
342
00:40:25,631 --> 00:40:30,511
A new highway stands
between her and the river.
343
00:40:36,016 --> 00:40:39,854
Road building has
exploded in Africa.
344
00:40:41,355 --> 00:40:44,900
Taji has no experience
to call on...
345
00:40:45,651 --> 00:40:49,822
this is one change in
her world too many...
346
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:52,992
she freezes.
347
00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:03,002
The other adults cannot
resist the scent of water,
348
00:41:04,712 --> 00:41:08,549
they take their
chances on the road.
349
00:41:22,938 --> 00:41:26,150
Binti is curious...
350
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:33,449
but her mother calls her back.
351
00:41:37,786 --> 00:41:41,457
Kike stays by Taji's side.
352
00:41:46,587 --> 00:41:50,674
Perhaps things will be
quieter, after dark...
353
00:42:07,316 --> 00:42:10,110
No such luck.
354
00:42:14,198 --> 00:42:19,495
The hours pass, and still,
Taji is not moving.
355
00:42:22,248 --> 00:42:25,334
In the face of such
dramatic change,
356
00:42:25,417 --> 00:42:27,711
she's paralyzed.
357
00:42:32,174 --> 00:42:35,427
Kike, Binti, and her
cousin are waiting for
358
00:42:35,511 --> 00:42:37,596
Taji to take the lead,
359
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,683
but they're desperately thirsty.
360
00:42:42,059 --> 00:42:45,354
The river is so close,
and the rest of the family
361
00:42:45,437 --> 00:42:48,857
will have reached it by now.
362
00:42:58,993 --> 00:43:03,122
With Taji unable to lead,
363
00:43:04,248 --> 00:43:09,003
the younger elephants must
show their matriarch the way.
364
00:43:22,391 --> 00:43:25,811
Binti boldly steps forward.
365
00:43:33,986 --> 00:43:37,698
Following her mother
into a changing world.
366
00:43:47,374 --> 00:43:50,586
Finding herself all alone...
367
00:43:53,422 --> 00:43:58,469
Taji now follows in her
granddaughter's footsteps.
368
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:56,485
The taste of water is pure joy.
369
00:44:57,236 --> 00:45:01,031

372
00:45:07,538 --> 00:45:11,500
Taji made the right
choice to guide them here...
373
00:45:14,294 --> 00:45:16,964
and with the help of her
daughter and granddaughter,
374
00:45:17,047 --> 00:45:19,842
the whole family made it safely.
375
00:45:19,925 --> 00:45:24,012

♪ I, I will be your light ♪♪
377
00:45:28,434 --> 00:45:30,519
Elephants have
always walked in the footsteps
378
00:45:30,602 --> 00:45:32,271
of their ancestors...
379
00:45:32,354 --> 00:45:37,693
♪ When you're low I'll lead
you home, Chariot ♪♪
380
00:45:37,776 --> 00:45:42,114
But Binti's growing
up in a very different world.
381
00:45:43,365 --> 00:45:47,494
♪ When you're low I'll lead
you home, Chariot ♪♪
382
00:45:47,578 --> 00:45:49,121
In just 50 years,
383
00:45:49,204 --> 00:45:52,958
Savanna elephant

384

♪ Take you back to where
you're from, Chariot ♪♪
385
00:46:03,010 --> 00:46:06,013
They will need
strong, compassionate,

00:46:06,096 --> 00:46:11,560
adaptable leaders if
they are to survive.
