The Elephant in the Living Room
The Elephant in the Living Room is a documentary film about the controversial American subculture of raising the most dangerous animals in the world as common household pets. Director Michael Webber follows the journey of two men at the heart of the issue. One, Tim Harrison, a man whose mission is to protect exotic animals and the public, and the other, Terry Brumfield, a big-hearted man who struggles to keep his two pet African lions that he loves like his own family.

Friends, this is an important topic for all of us. I guarantee that when you walk out of this movie, you will think about animal ownership in a new or reinforced way.
It’s a troubling issue, to be sure, and this looks like a film that’s going to stimulate some debate. Looking forward to seeing this when it opens wide, so’s I can decide for myself. Thanks for the heads-up, Gracey!
