Werner Herzog’s body of work defies categorization. Over five decades, his films—Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man, and Encounters at the End of the World, among many—have been celebrated for their mythic scope, philosophical rigor, and daring exploration of humanity’s relationship to the natural world.

Ghost Elephants continues this cinematic lineage. Set in Angola’s mist-shrouded highlands, it follows three KhoiSan master trackers on a spiritual quest to rediscover the legendary "ghost elephants" of Lisima—creatures presumed lost by technology but remembered in ancestral trance, ritual, and memory. The film is both a captivating environmental odyssey and a poetic meditation on culture, identity, and belonging.

As the film takes the global stage at Venice, Sobey Road is honored to support Herzog’s singular vision at a moment when his lifetime of creativity is celebrated among the pantheon of cinema's greatest.
