Who is Flora? She is an African elephant born in Zimbabwe who lost her mother and family to then-legal cullting. She was captured and relocated to the United States where she was purchased by an elephant broker.
The story of Flora documented in "One Lucky Elephant," which premieres at the Los Angeles Film Festival on Saturday (June 19) begins when circus owner David Balding, who became Flora's guardian and surrogate father for 18 years, realizes that it's time for Flora to retire from circus life to be with other elephants.
In 2001, Ahali Elephants was formed in 2001 and they acquired Flora, who was first moved from David's circus to Miami's MetroZoo, where she could be with other African elephants.
Flora resided in Miami for nearly two (not exactly trouble-free) years, while Ahali Elephant searched the world for the best elephant-retirement home. In 2004, a 300-acre sanctuary for Asian elephants in Tennessee added 2,700 acres for a separate African elephant area.
