Living with wildlife

The incredible true story of a father who moves his young family to the countryside to restore and reopen a struggling zoo is retold in We Bought A Zoo (PG).

The film, directed by Cameron Crowe and adapted from Benjamin Mee’s autobiographical memoir, stars Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church and Elle Fanning.

In an attempt to bring his family back together, Ben relocates, along with his two children, to the dilapidated menagerie where the family embark on a soul-restoring journey to return the zoo to its former glory.

The comedy drama can be seen at Newark’s Odeon Cinema.
