Donāt miss US, OUR PETS AND THE WAR, the third film in the Salt Spring Film Festivalās annual āBest of the Festsā series at ArtSpring, at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, December 11.
Amidst the worst of circumstances, courageous Ukrainians are risking their lives under Russian bombardment to rescue animals left behind by those forced to flee.
From dogs & cats miraculously surviving in demolished buildings & abandoned shelters, to exotic wildlife helplessly stranded in the nationās zoos, unbelievable rescue efforts are underway to extract animals from the war zone and bring them to safety.
Some of the rescued animals unexpectedly become online celebrities, such as Patron the Jack Russell terrier, who was awarded the Order of Courage by President Zelenskyy for his work locating unexploded landmines.
Inspiring the very best of the human spirit in the face of mortal danger, ordinary people do extraordinary things in this astonishing celebration of our bond with animals, which won the Audience Choice Award at the Irish Film Instituteās Documentary Festival in September.
Co-presented by the Salt Spring āFriends of Ukraineā Committee & the Salt Spring BCSPCA.
