'Our Zoo' is based on the extraordinary true story of George Mottershead who founded Chester Zoo in the 1930s. 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.
