Editorial Reviews

In 2005 a bizarre new story spread from the sleepy rural town of Enumclaw, Washington -- a man died of internal injuries sustained while attempting a sexual act with a horse. It was discovered the man was part of a small group of zoophiliacs -- people who crave erotic contact with animals -- and that they had been engaging in various activities with local animals for some time. While investigating the incident, Washington police authorities discovered the state had no laws on the books concerning bestiality, and Sen. Pam Roach quickly introduced legislation which would make it illegal. While the story became a national news item after hitting the internet, Seattle-based filmmaker Robinson Devor was curious about what sort of people became involved in the underground world of zoophilia, and Zoo is a docudrama which explores the horse sex case, the other members of the zoophile ring (two members of the group participated in the production of the film), the animal rescue organization that took possession of the horses, and the legislators and law enforcement officers who reacted to the case. Originally produced under the title In The Forest There Is Every Kind Of Bird, Zoo was screened in competition at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

October 03, 2007: Dreamlike imagery and a taboo subject matter combine into one of the most original documentaries in recent years. ZOO is an evenhanded look at what could have been mindless exploitation that leaves it up to the viewer to come to their own conclusions on the topic. Gorgeous cinematography highlights a very unique film, but be warned, this is not your typical documentary.
