Director Statement

Over the summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to work at the NEW Zoo in Green Bay Wisconsin as a media intern. While working there, I had the chance of learning about how zoos function and the benefits they offer to animals there. This film was made to highlight the topics I learned about and also to educate others on the good of zoos.
