In the Path of Giants 2026

Synopsis

In Southern Bangladesh, hungry wild elephants trapped by the world’s largest refugee camp are rampaging over the land of local farmers. The result is a tense three-way stand-off between the refugees, local Bengalis and indigenous farmers, worsening already strained ethnic tensions. In 2017 Bangladesh opened its arms to nearly a million Rohingya who fled a violent regime of ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. But the camp built to house them unknowingly blocked the last migratory corridor for the local elephant population. With no easy escape, a Rohingya refugee, an indigenous farmer, a Bengali forest ranger and the shrinking population of wild elephants find themselves trapped in an impossible fight for land, freedom and a place to call home.
