National Geographic Debuts Trailer for ‘Ghost Elephants,’ Streaming on Disney+ and Hulu March 8
February 10, 2026
National Geographic Documentary Films and Abramorama on Feb. 10 released the trailer for the feature-length documentary Ghost Elephants, directed, written and narrated by Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man).
Airing on National Geographic on March 7 and streaming the next day, March 8, on Disney+ and Hulu, the film follows National Geographic Explorer Steve Boyes on an epic journey as he sets out with some of the last remaining master trackers in the world in pursuit of an animal long believed to be a myth.
On Feb. 26, Abramorama will host a one-night-only Ghost Elephants nationwide theatrical simulcast screening event followed by a live Q&A panel with Herzog and Boyes. Executive producer Brian Nugent will introduce the 7 p.m. public screening at the AMC Lincoln Square in Manhattan and join the panel discussion that will be transmitted live to theaters nationwide via the Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition in coordination with Abramorama’s live event partner take2productions. Abramorama will release the documentary in select North American theaters beginning Feb. 27.
In the mist-covered highlands of Angola, a mystery endures: the elusive ghost elephants of Lisima, the potential living descendants of the largest land mammal ever recorded. In order to find these elusive elephants, Boyes and fellow National Geographic Explorer Kerllen Costa teamed up with three KhoiSan master trackers — Xui, Xui Dawid, and Kobus — to succeed where advanced technology could not.
Ghost Elephants had its world premiere in August 2025 at the Venice International Film Festival and National Geographic Documentary Films acquired streaming rights to the film that month.
