Eine wahre und rührende Geschichte. Während der Zweite Weltkrieg tobt, wird der Warschauer Zoo Schauplatz einer dramatischen Rettungsaktion, die über 300 Juden vor dem sicheren Tod bewahrt. Jan und Antonina Zabinski, der Zoodirektor und seine Frau, schmuggeln Juden aus dem Warschauer Ghetto auf das brachliegende Zoogelände, wo sie die Todgeweihten in den leeren Tierkäfigen vor den Nazis verstecken und ihnen damit das Leben retten.

Hotshot is a work of intimacy and authority, nimbly merging a personal journey of reinvention and self-acceptance with expert insight into the textured history of ecological systems and Indigenous land tending.
