Two-time Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain’s latest movie The Zookeeper’s Wife tells the incredible true story of a Polish husband and wife, Antonina Żabińska and Dr. Jan Żabiński who use their zoo to hide Jewish people targeted by the Nazi regime.

As Hitler’s troops round up Jewish families to send to concentration camps and bomb the city of Warsaw, Antonina (Chastain) and her husband risk their lives to help the families survive. 

In this trailer, Chastain introduces the film and gives a closer look at the courage the Żabiński  family had in the face of the Nazi threat.
