IN 2022, GLOBAL DIGITAL RELEASING OBTAINED THE RIGHTS TO ELEPHANT REFUGEES AND SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED THE FILM ON EIGHT STREAMING CHANNELS. THE FILM RECEIVED A 100% RATING ON ROTTEN TOMATOES. OUR PRODUCTION "ANIMALS ARE TALKING" WAS ABRUPTLY HALTED IN EARLY 2020 DUE TO THE COVID LOCKDOWN. UNFORTUNATELY, WE WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE PRODUCTION AS INITIALLY PLANNED. HOWEVER, IN 2022, WE RETURNED AND WORKED TIRELESSLY FOR SEVEN MONTHS TO REVIVE THE "ANIMALS ARE TALKING" DOCUMENTARY. DURING PRODUCTION, WE FACED VARIOUS CHALLENGES, SUCH AS THE DEPARTURE OF OUR STAR BABOONS, THE HORSE SANCTUARY'S RELOCATION, AND SCHEDULING CONFLICTS WITH THE INDIVIDUALS FEATURED IN THE DOCUMENTARY. NEVERTHELESS, DOL IS COMMITTED TO FINISHING THE FILMING PROCESS BY 2023 AND DISTRIBUTING THE FINAL PROJECT IN 2024.WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE CONTINUE SUPPORTING THE BOITUMELO ORPHANAGE, MOLLY BAM ORPHANAGE, AND THE TOM RO HAVEN HORSE SANCTUARY.DURING 2022, WE DEDICATED SIGNIFICANT TIME AND RESOURCES TO A NEW PROJECT LOCATED IN THE MOUNTAIN KINGDOM OF LESOTHO, A LANDLOCKED COUNTRY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA KNOWN FOR ITS MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.
