The film that started it.

In rural Myanmar, one man spends his days doing something almost nobody else will: standing on the line between elephants and the people whose homes, crops and lives are at risk when the two collide. That's the story we told in The Linesman — a 30-minute documentary about what human-elephant conflict actually looks like, up close, from both sides of the fence.

It didn't just get made. It got seen.

Since its release, The Linesman has been an Official Selection at seven film festivals across three continents:

Seven official selections. Audiences on three continents who now understand that protecting elephants means protecting people too — because the film's own tagline says it best: both sides matter.

Now we're going further

Both Sides of the Line picks up where The Linesman left off. Instead of one village in Myanmar, this film follows communities and elephants across Asia and Africa — and the coexistence solutions that are actually working on the ground. Same mission. Bigger canvas.
