Common Ground is a feature documentary that explores the ancient relationship between humans and elephants in Sri Lanka. We discover how years of civil war and an expanding human population has affected that long-standing association. Very few animals on this planet are regarded both as an object of worship and as an enemy. The Asian Elephant is now defined by this paradox. As the total number of elephants in the wild continues to plummet, conservationists are developing some innovative solutions to preserve this legendary animal.
