THE ELEPHANT QUEEN: A rising tide lifts all boats. Up to a few years ago a pseudo-documentary this good would be an event. But nature photography has advanced very quickly with technology producing better and better documentaries. Even so, this is still well above average. The narration is well-written and enjoyable, even if full of anthropomorphizing. All in all, this is a story told with great wit and technology. Released 09/08/18; available on Apple TV+.
