SUMMARY:Checkpoint Zoo - Ukrainian Spring Film Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The Ukrainian Spring Film Marathon returns on April 11\, 2026 with “Checkpoint Zoo.” \nThe evening includes an introductory presentation\, the film screening\, and a post-film discussion and Q&A. \nAbout “Checkpoint Zoo” \nIn the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian war\, Kharkiv\, the country’s second-largest city\, was turned into a warzone. On one side of the battlefield was the invading Russian army; on the other side\, the defending Ukrainians; and caught in between them was a zoo called Feldman Ecopark. \nMore than just a zoo\, Feldman Ecopark was an animal sanctuary that offered countless therapy programs to everyone from soldiers with PTSD to children with special needs. As the war raged on\, and the shelling increased\, it was clear that the bravery of the staff wouldn’t be enough to save the animals trapped inside.  \nWith the help of four young volunteers\, these zookeepers would undertake a seemingly impossible mission – they would risk life and limb to evacuate over 5\,000 animals\, including scores of dangerous predators\, and deliver them to safety. \nDrawing on first-hand footage\, award-winning filmmaker Joshua Zeman’s “Checkpoint Zoo” tells the story of human compassion\, bravery\, and sacrifice during Ukraine’s darkest hours. It shines a light on the best of humanity when it is all too easy to focus on the worst.  \nAbout “Checkpoint Zoo” | Trailer \nTime \n5:00 PM — Doors Open\n5:30-7:30 PM — Movie Screening\n7:30-8:00 PM — Discussion \nRegistration \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/ukrainian-spring-film-marathon-checkpoint-zoo-tickets-1986234710487 \nSeating is limited.
