When people and elephants meet in tea plantations or rice paddies, tragedies are inevitable.

We find ourselves on an exciting journey through the highly affected conflict area around Numaligarh and Golaghat in Assam, and the filmmaker wants to know it: What is going on at night in the streets, and what in the tea plantations? When the paddy starts ripening, young people start chasing elephants. One day, unfortunately for a young kid, this kind of morning sport named Hatikull ends fatally.

An entire village and an engaged young couple have found a unique way for a respectful, peaceful and loving co-existence with the elephants. They decided to cultivate large areas of food for the hungry animals, and managed to mitigate the conflict to level zero.

EFZH is a solution oriented investigational documentary film about the grave situation of human-elephant-conflict in Northeast India, showing that every conflict can find it’s own solution, as long as we show love and respect.
