Lion Ark: An Amazing Animal Rescue
by
On November 12, Movie Addict HQ welcomes director Tim Phillips and co-screenwriter Jan Creamer for a discussion about the filming of Lion Ark, their award-winning documentary concerning the rescue of 25 abused African lions and the transporting of these animals from Bolivia to Colorado. Phillips and Creamer are co-founders of Animal Defenders International (ADI), the organization behind this remarkable real-life adventure. Others involved in the incredible project are legendary TV host Bob Barker, actress Jorja Fox, and Pat Craig, who founded the Wild Animal Sanctuary. Lion Ark is not a traditional documentary, for sequences were filmed as each part of the story was actually happening, which heightens the movie’s suspense, thrills and surprises. No wonder Lion Ark has already earned a Best Documentary Award from the San Diego Film Festival.
Lion Ark is winning rave reviews on the film festival circuit. For example, The Independent Critic calls it “one of your must-see films of 2013.” Why? Because the movie “takes an already incredible and unforgettable story and breathes life and passion and transformation into it.”
This unique documentary is the first film to sell out an opening screening at the Starz Denver Film Festival. Other festivals welcoming Lion Ark include:
Anchorage International Film Festival
Raindance
London Raindance
Hawaii International Film Festival
Mississippi’s Sun and Surf Film & Music Festival
On Friday, November 15, an exclusive VIP premiere of Lion Ark will be held in Los Angeles to raise funds for Peru’s circus animals to be rescued.
“Lion Ark: An Amazing Animal Rescue Film” airs on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. During the live show, listeners are invited to call in and to participate in a chat. An archived segment will also be available.
