Episode: Lucy: The Stolen Lives of Elephants' Fern Levitt takes us behind the curtain of zoo culture
Description: Directed by Fern Levitt, LUCY: THE STOLEN LIVES OF ELEPHANTS is the first documentary to expose the cruel treatment of elephants in zoos. Using the traumatic story of the Edmonton Zoo’s elephant, Lucy as the driving force behind the narrative, the film exposes zoos as glorified prisons and demands the transport of their elephants to sanctuaries around the world. In this 1on1, we speak to Levitt about the future of zoos and the difference between 'preservation' and 'domination'.
