00:02Come on, we're late, guys. Let's go.
00:06Hello?
00:07Uh, no, I can't.
00:09It's just not a great time for me.
00:10Benjamin Mee is a single parent, and his family is coming apart.
00:15Hey, Rosie?
00:16Am I doing anything right?
00:18You're handsomer than the other dads.
00:20Lots of them don't have hair.
00:22So that's good.
00:24He's got two kids, a 14-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl.
00:28The son ends up getting expelled from school,
00:31and in this kind of desperate act, he just decides they need something new.
00:35This is exactly what we've been looking for.
00:37He finds this beautiful piece of property that feels almost like destiny when he sees it.
00:42It's a bit complicated. What's so complicated about this place?
00:50It's a zoo.
00:52Yay!
00:53They discover that there's an old, broken-down zoo that comes with the property.
00:58If you buy the property, you need to take care of the zoo.
01:01I'm trying to give the kids an authentic experience.
01:04Stop before zebras get involved.
01:06Sometimes life kind of plops you at the crossroads,
01:09and there's an easy way, and there's a not-so-easy way.
01:12And you kind of know from that little voice inside,
01:15the not-so-easy way is the right way.
01:17And so in the spirit of adventure, he decides to go for it and buy the zoo.
01:22We bought a zoo!
01:23Yes, we did. We did buy a zoo.
01:26And action.
01:28Yeah, I would like to declare us all modern-day adventurers.
01:32The through line is the story of this guy who takes on this huge project
01:36that seems a little bit unwieldy and crazy.
01:39We need somebody who can really take charge of this place,
01:41or else we and all these animals are gone.
01:43It's a film about family, and it's about finding your passion and believing in yourself.
01:48This is a movie that was based on a true story.
01:51When I read Benjamin's book, I fell in love with it.
01:53The story is so soulful and raw and passionate.
01:57Benjamin needed something that was going to be a big adventure.
02:01He did something that seemed crazy and against better judgment.
02:05At the risk of stating the obvious, you're insane.
02:08When I wrote the book, I kind of wanted to shout about stubbornness in me, I suppose,
02:13is of not giving up when people tell you it's impossible.
02:15You'll only definitely fail if you give up.
02:18If you carry on trying, you've got a chance, even when it looks impossible.
02:21Welcome to your zoo, Benjamin Mee.
02:23If I can encourage people in some small way to seize their dream
02:27and see it through despite the odds, then I'd be happier with that.
02:32Don't turn around! Turn around! Turn around!
02:35You don't want me! I am filled with scotch and bitterness and impure thoughts!
02:42Humor is all camera.
02:43You find yourself laughing and you're kind of unexpectedly affected by something.
02:48You are going to love your new enclosure.
02:52Ow! Oh, man!
02:54The movie combines humor and drama.
02:57And that's my favorite mix because it's the mixture of life.
03:00It's kind of the human adventure.
03:02Every day is filled with laughs and agony, often in the same moment.
03:05Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage.
03:11And I promise you, something great will come of it.
03:15People will be able to relate to times in their life when they felt a little overwhelmed
03:18and have had a chance to kind of make a leap like this
03:21and they'll understand that moment and want to go on that journey with us.
03:24You do something for the right reasons, nothing can stop you.
03:29You do something for the right reasons, nothing can stop you, nothing can stop you, nothing can stop you, nothing
