What happens when a zoo becomes a war zone?

Zorianna and Roxy speak with director Joshua Zeman about Checkpoint Zoo, a powerful documentary following Ukrainian volunteers on the outskirts of the city of Kharkiv who risk their lives to save more than 5,000 animals from a beloved zoo caught directly in the line of fire during ruzzia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

As bombs fall on Kharkiv, Zeman chronicles a daring rescue mission about a group of unlikely heroes evacuating lions, bears, chimps, kangaroos, and other species using nothing but instinct, courage, and cell phones.

Executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, with viral video footage spotlighted on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Checkpoint Zoo captures compassion, innocence, and the instinct to protect life when everything else is falling apart.

Checkpoint Zoo is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video
