From ArgoFilm's "The Urban Elephant" comes the touching story of Shirley and her keeper, Solomon James. Trapped in a man-made world, Shirley's life at the Louisiana Purchase Zoo was a lonely one, bereft of the company of other elephants. Follow Shirley and Solomon through a life of captivity to release in the Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary. This two-time Emmy Award winning film was produced for PBS's Nature Series.

1. I think that this is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen.

I am not watching it again, since I have seen this too many times to count....and I have cried every single time. I think I know it by heart.

So to anyone who has never seen this, it really is a must-see. You will never look at elephants the same way.
