            Jessica Chastain doesn’t get as much appreciation as she should. Her performance in Zero Dark Thirty, was one of the best I’ve ever seen to be honest and she’s incredibly diverse. Yesterday, we received the first trailer for The Zookeeper’s Wife starring that same actress that just further shows off her talents.

            The film is based on the 2007 book written by Diane Ackerman about husband and wife zookeepers who convinced a Nazi zoologist to let them keep their property as a pig farm, whole behind his back, they hid Jews escaping persecution and death. This movie has a mixture of everything between grand scenery, adorable zoo animals and a harsh WWII setting.

            I loved this trailer as it had a real compassion and humanity to it. Not only that, but this is a magnificent story as it was a tremendous risk for this woman to keep these people that were constantly being hunted on her property each and every day.

            Check out the trailer below for The Zookeeper’s Wife starring Chastain, Johan Heldenbergh and Daniel Bruhl. The movie opens on March 31^st, 2017.
