Desperate to find relief from her unspeakable loss, Natalie volunteers as a veterinarian at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand. There she meets an angry, injured elephant named Sophie. Together, Natalie and Sophie begin to heal, finding new ways to enjoy life together. This program is free and open to the public.
