The Elephant In The Living Room: A shocking unpleasant truth



The Elephant in the Living Room is a documentary movie of deep inside the controversial American subculture of raising the most dangerous animals in the world, as common household pets. Set against the backdrop of a heated national debate, director Michael Webber chronicles the extraordinary story of two men at the heart of the issue – Tim Harrison, an Ohio police officer whose friend was killed by an exotic pet; and Terry Brumfield, a big-hearted man who struggles to raise two African lions that he loves like his own family. In the first of many unexpected twists, the lives of these two men collide when Terry’s male lion escapes its pen and is found attacking cars on a nearby highway. The movie also shows how American are fearlessly shopping for all danegrous animals such as deadly snakes, bears, hyna, tiger, jaguar etc and once they grow over size they don't know how to manage them.

This documentary film has won 5 Best Documentary Awards, and the film courageously exposes the shocking reality behind the multi-billion dollar exotic pet industry with stunning photography, inspiring storytelling and unprecedented access into a world rarely seen, right in our own backyard.

A real thrill to watch !!!
