“#Smithsonian Recruits the Icon for a Moving Rescue Mission<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Do you believe in life after a highly social<\/a>, intelligent, and emotional creature has been forced to spend 35 years in captivity? Cher does.<\/p>\n

The moving hourlong special, Cher & The Loneliest Elephant<\/em>, tracks how the Twitter-savvy icon used her connections to turn an online campaign to free Kaavan \u2014 a bull elephant who\u2019d been left all alone in a pitiful enclosure at a Pakistan zoo since 2012 \u2014 into a reality.<\/p>\n

While Cher is his most famous advocate, the real stars here are the many experts who align to make the daunting November 2020 rescue a success. Chief among them: Dr. Amir Khalil, who spends months preparing severely mistreated Kaavan to make the seven-hour flight and four-hour drive, dangerous for everyone, to his new home at a sanctuary in Cambodia.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [doesn\u2019t] see us as a human; he sees us as monsters,\u201d Khalil says in the documentary. Fittingly, it\u2019s music that helps gain angry Kaavan\u2019s trust; Khalil sings \u201cMy Way\u201d to soothe him as he learns to walk into his travel<\/a> crate.<\/p>\n

When Cher braves the pandemic for the send-off in Pakistan, she serenades him with it too. It\u2019s her best farewell concert yet.<\/p>\n
