Our Zoo is based on the extraordinary true story of George Mottershead who founded Chester Zoo in the 1930's. A charismatic man with a passion for the animal kingdom George's experience of suffering in the Great War inspired a dream to open a zoo without bars. Against all the odds he and his family transformed a ramshackle old property into a unique institution that changed forever the way zoos keep animals. Funny heartfelt and dramatic Our Zoo is an exhilarating tale about one family's struggle to build a new life for themselves and all creatures great and small. Special Features: The Making of Our Zoo
