A History of the Zoo | Documentary | British Animal Attractions Past & Present

Описание: In 'Britain’s Zoo Story,' I explore the complete history of the Zoo and other animal attractions in Britain, from the Tower of London Menagerie to the modern-day Safari Park. Journey through centuries of history in this amateur, home made documentary exploring the evolution of the British Zoo. From the medieval Royal Menagerie at the Tower of London to the world-leading conservation efforts of the 21st century, "Britain’s Zoo Story" examines our changing relationship with the wild.

In this film, I uncover how Victorian spectacle transformed into modern science. I move from cages to conservation, exploring the architectural shifts, the ethical debates, and the legendary animals that shaped the UK's most iconic institutions, including London Zoo, Chester Zoo, and beyond.
