"In the Footsteps of Elephant" follows filmmakers as they capture the epic journey of African elephants across the Kalahari desert for Disneynature's "Elephant." The team faces extreme weather, inaccessible terrain, crocodile-infested waters and close encounters with lions in order to shine a light on these remarkable creatures and their ancient migrations.
