Plot

The Eyes of Thailand tells the true story of Soraida Salwala's 10-year quest to help two elephant landmine survivors, Motala and Baby Mosha, walk again after losing their legs in landmine accidents. Along with Soraida's efforts to care for the injured elephants and ultimately help them to walk again, the film also highlights the dangers posed by landmines.[3]

Production

Director/Producer Windy Borman started making this film in 2007. The film went through several revisions due to then-ongoing changes in the story of Motala and Mosha.[4] Actress Ashley Judd served as the narrator, saying about the film, "I hope it will raise awareness to protect Asian elephants—and all beings—from the terror of landmines."[5]
