Synopsis:
Elephant chronicles the day-to-day personal lives of ordinary American teenagers in the moments leading up to a high school shooting. Based in part on the Colombine High School shootings of 1999, this critically-acclaimed film - which won the Palme D'Or at Cannes and was recently named by the AGO/Cinematheque as one of the top films of the decade - sensitively depicts the complex reasons behind such a tragic event, and warns us of what can happen when we collectively ignore the 'elephant in the room.'
