Based on a true story, The Zookeeper’s Wife portrays Antonina and Jan Żabiński, a Christian couple and zookeepers in Warsaw, Poland.  When the Germans invade and start World War II, Antonia and Jan refuse to stand-by in the face of so much suffering and persecution.  They join the resistance, and use the zoo as a hiding place and refuge to save hundreds of Jews from the Nazis – risking their own lives in the process.

The film is a testament to the power of compassion, faith, and courage within us all. Watch the official trailer and check back for more on this upcoming movie.
