IF ELEPHANTS COULD FLY is a short documentary that follows Priyanka's journey taking her one-woman show, 'The Elephant in the Room', to the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Captured through the lens of a single camera by the exceptionally talented Andrea Costa, this film has a profound sense of intimacy in its storytelling.
