Conversations with THE ZOOKEEPER'S WIFE

Q&A with Jessica Chastain, Niki Caro, Executive Producer Robbie Tollin and Producers Kim Zubick & Diane Levin. Moderated by Kristen Schaffer, Women in Film.
Two-time Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain stars in The Zookeeper's Wife in the title role of Antonina Żabińska, a real-life working wife and mother who became a hero to hundreds during WWII. Niki Caro (Whale Rider, North Country) directs the movie from a screenplay by Angela Workman, adapted from Diane Ackerman's nonfiction book of the same name which was based on Antonina's diaries.
The time is 1939. The place is Poland, homeland of Antonina (portrayed by Ms. Chastain) and her husband, Dr. Jan Żabiński (Johan Heldenbergh, of The Broken Circle Breakdown). Devoted to each other, the couple thrive as personal and professional partners; the Warsaw Zoo flourishes under Jan's stewardship and Antonina's care. With reserves of energy, Antonina rises every day to tend to both her family and their menagerie, as the gates to the majestic zoo open in welcome...
...until the entrance is slammed shut and the zoo is crippled in an attack as the entire country is invaded by the Germans.
