The Zookeeper's Wife - $25 Fandango Gift Card Giveaway

Have you ever been moved by a movie trailer to the point you know that the film is going to be one you will want to see multiple times?  This is exactly what happened to me when I first saw the preview of The Zookeeper's Wife, but before I explain why, let me tell you more about this title.

THE ZOOKEEPER’S WIF:

In 1939 Poland, Antonina Żabińska (portrayed by two-time Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain) and her husband, Dr. Jan Żabiński (Johan Heldenbergh, a European Film Award nominee for the Academy Award-nominated The Broken Circle Breakdown), have the Warsaw Zoo flourishing under his stewardship and her care.

When their country is invaded by the Germans, Jan and Antonina are stunned and forced to report to the Reich's newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck (Golden Globe Award nominee Daniel Brühl of Captain America: Civil War).

To fight back on their own terms, the Żabińskis covertly begin working with the Resistance and put into action plans to save lives out of what has become the Warsaw Ghetto, with Antonina putting herself and even her children at great risk.

When I was younger, my parents would often share the story of a couple they had been in business with years before I was born.  Both of them had been Holocaust survivors and had made their way to the St. Louis area where they reconnected and married.  I remember as a young child, always thinking they had to of been ridiculously old or dead.   Then one night after school I remember walking into our living room and there they sat. They had come up to visit with my parents and from that day on they became a couple who spent a lot of time with us.   While they never spoke of their experiences with me, again I was a child, my parents would share a few stories and I just remember being shocked that they were not much older than my parents and that put the events of the Holocaust into a perspective that I don't think many people my age are able to experience, because of this I am looking forward to seeing The Zookeeper's Wife, rated PG-13, when it is in theaters on March 31st.
