Jessica Chastain and Daniel Brühl star in this historical drama directed by Niki Caro. Set in the Polish capital Warsaw, the story follows Antonina Zabinski (Chastain) and her husband Jan (Johan Heldenbergh) as they attempt to help as many local Jews as they can following the Nazi invasion in 1939. Horrified by the treatment of their fellow citizens in the city's newly formed ghettos, Antonina and Jan begin covertly working with Polish resistance forces by smuggling hundreds of displaced Jews into their zoo and providing them with shelter and a place to hide. However, with the Nazi's new chief zoologist Lutz Heck (Brühl) making daily visits and becoming increasingly suspicious of their behaviour, the Zabinskis are forced to go to extreme lengths to continue to protect their secret.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Starring Jessica Chastain and Daniel Bruhl, The Zookeeper’s Wife is inspired by true events, and based on the international best-selling novel of the same name. Both the book and the film are drawn from the unpublished diary of Antonina %u010F%u017C%u02DDabi%u010F%u017C%u02DDska, which recounts the true story of how she and her husband, Jan %u010F%u017C%u02DDabi%u010F%u017C%u02DDski, saved the lives of 300 Jews who had been imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto following the German invasion of Poland in September 1939.
