SUMMARY:Critter Fest: The Ark
DESCRIPTION:The Ark is an improbable tale of the transcendent relationship 
 between a people and their land\, as amid constant danger\, a Ukrainian fa
 mily’s home transforms into a refuge for chickens\, donkeys\, horses\, emu
 s and hundreds of displaced animals abandoned by war.\n\nZhenye and Anatol
 y Pilipenko’s dream of a quiet place in the country is shattered overnight
  as a Russian missile explodes over their house on the first night of war.
  As rockets fall and fires rage\, they face an impossible choice: flee the
  violence at their doorstep or stay and protect the home they dreamed of b
 uilding for years. When a soldier on his way to the frontline asks the cou
 ple if they could care for his goats – all 37 of them – while he fights in
  the trenches\; Practically overnight\, Anatoly an Zhenye’s home transform
 s into the largest animal sanctuary in Eastern Ukraine. From rescued chick
 ens\, displaced donkeys\, wandering horses and even emus\, Anatoly and Zhe
 nye risk their lives and livelihoods to rescue any part of Ukraine they ca
 n – including the wounded and defenseless animals scattered across the cou
 ntry from the war.\n\nTold primarily through verité\, amidst constant dang
 er\, heartbreaking loss and improbably an inextinguishable reservoir of ho
 pe\, Zhenye and Anatoly’s sanctuary stands as a defiant testament to the u
 nbreakable bond between a nation\, its people\, and the land they refuse t
 o surrender.\n\nhttps://www.salem.org/event/critter-fest-the-ark/
