Our Zoo

Streaming video - 2014

Inspiring drama based on the extraordinary real story of the eccentric Mottershead family who, despite huge opposition and personal sacrifice, established Chester Zoo in the 1930s. With single-mindedness bordering on madness, George Mottershead drove himself and his family to realise his ambition to transform a ramshackle house on the outskirts of Chester into a unique institution that would change forever the way zoos house animals.
