Lion Ark

The Italian version of Lion Ark is being shown in secondary schools across Italy, thanks to the organization LAV.

Documenting how Animal Defenders International (ADI) tracked down illegal circuses in Bolivia and saved the animals, helping enforce the country’s ban, Lion Ark will be helping to focus attention on Italy’s new law to phase out all animal acts.

The film has been promoted by the Ministry for Education, University and Research, among other activities, in a letter to all of his local offices.

Passed in November, ADI was proud to support the launch of the phase-out bill, Lion Ark premiering in the country during a special workshop organised by LAV in the Italian Senate.

Italy has an estimated 100 circuses with some 2,000 animals, and rules for implementation of the phase out are expected to be published by the government soon.

Lion Ark is the award-winning documentary that tells the story of how Bolivia banned the use of animals circuses, the circuses defied the law, but ADI tracked them down, raiding one after the other until every animal was saved. You are transported to the heart of the action, up close and personal with the animals and find yourself cheering the lions.

Do not miss out as Lion Ark finally lands in Canada. ADI’s Rescue Team leaders Jan Creamer and Tim Phillips will be presenting Lion Ark followed by a Q&A at Innis Town Hall, University of Toronto on Wednesday 13th September at 7:00pm. There’ll also be slides and footage from ADI’s most recent rescues.
