The Day We Saved The Zoo

 

Is human life more valuable than animal life?

In the beautiful Australian outback, the keepers of Mogo Zoo fight to save their animals from the devastating 2020 bushfires.

The keepers of Mogo Zoo are bonded to the animals they look after, these animals have become family, best friends, and sometimes, trusted confidants. But one fateful day, a catastrophic fire looms. The keepers are given an evacuation order – firefighters are overwhelmed battling other blazes. To stay is to risk their lives. But to go will condemn these animals to an almost certain death. They must decide, and there is not much time: would you risk your life to save an animal?
