>> Synopsis:

African elephants have one of the most cohesive family structures in the wild. STEEL BIRDS AND TUSKERS, a speculative parable, witnesses the peaceful existence of a herd of elephant in their pristine natural state.

The story takes an outrageous turn when the herd is abruptly confronted with the abrasive tactics of wild life management schemes enforced by man. The Matriarch is tracked by helicopter, darted, subjected to birth control and relocated by truck. An invasion which triggers confused apprehension amongst the herd.

The elephants come to know a new adversary, stronger than a rhino, as fierce as a lion. A hunter from the sky, a bird of steel which, with surgical precision, will slay them to the ground. Then ponderous iron-cages trample the bush to steal their debilitated bodies, ripping their families apart. Those that survive never forget. They translate this knowledge into generations of anger, perpetuating this war of attrition imposed by man.

STEEL BIRDS AND TUSKERS does not criticise mans determination to attain the unattainable. Nor does it offer solutions to resolve the wretched plight facing the African Elephant
