The documentary Lion Ark chronicles the challenges faced by Animal Defenders International to rescue 25 lions from illegal circuses in Bolivia and relocate them to a sanctuary in Colorado. Directed by ADI Vice President Tim Phillips, Lion Ark offers a glimpse at how the organization works in the field and behind political lines to protect animals, which has included pushing through legislation to end the suffering of animals in circuses. Lion Ark will screen 6 p.m. June 25 at the Stateside at the Paramount with Phillips, ADI President Jan Creamer and special guest Ed Asner in attendance.
