Elephants disrupt the lives of a family deep in the jungles of Northern Siam, and an entire village. 'Chang' was made by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, the adventurous filmmaking team that would go on to create 'King Kong' (1933), one of Hollywood's most enduring classics. Years before imagining giant apes atop skyscrapers, Cooper and Schoedsack traveled deep into the jungles of Siam (now Thailand), where they created a film unlike anything audiences had ever seen. Part documentary and part dramatic adventure, 'Chang' tells the story of a farming family struggling to survive in the wilderness while surrounding that fictional narrative with breathtaking footage of real wildlife and real dangers. Tigers, leopards, monkeys, and stampeding elephant herds appear not through special effects but through astonishing location photography captured under extraordinary conditions. The result is a groundbreaking hybrid of nonfiction and fiction that anticipated filmmaking styles that would not become common until decades later.
