The film Checkpoint Zoo, about Feldman Ecopark, is being released in U.S. theaters, Ecopark founder Oleksandr Feldman has announced.
“Friends, I am honored to present to you the official trailer of Checkpoint Zoo, a film about rescuing the animals of our Ecopark during that terrible spring of 2022. The wonderful director Joshua Zeman, who took the risk of coming to us three years ago, and the star producer Leonardo DiCaprio. The result is a very profound and vivid film that reveals to audiences around the world one of the aspects of the war in Ukraine, reminding them that both people and animals in our country have suffered and continue to suffer,” said Oleksandr Feldman.
According to him, since the beginning of the year Checkpoint Zoo has been screened at top international film festivals, earning 13 of the most prestigious awards. Starting on August 15, the film will be shown in U.S. cinemas. “This is especially important now in light of recent geopolitical events and the tremendous value of ensuring that public opinion in America remains firmly on Ukraine’s side. After its run in the U.S., we eagerly await this very important film being shown in theaters in our own country,” Oleksandr Feldman emphasized.
