Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque Screens:

The must-see documentary chronicles the heroic staff and volunteers who risked everything to save the animals trapped in a war zone. Just a few miles from the Russian border, Feldman Ecopark, located in Ukraine’s second largest city, Kharkiv, was at the front line of the invasion. Drawing from first-hand footage, Award-winning filmmaker Joshua Zeman’s Checkpoint Zoo showcases a story of human compassion, bravery, and sacrifice during Ukraine’s darkest hours. The event includes a live, virtual Q&A with filmmaker Joshua Zeman following the screening, presented in partnership with the Cleveland Vegan Society.
