As Polish director Lukasz Czajka tells us in the short documentary on the making of "Of Animals & Men" that is shown at the end, he read Antonia Zabinska's memoir and decided that a film telling her story and that of the Warsaw Zoo needed to be made. Now, for a one-night-only Fathom event on June 22, " Of Animals and Men," a new documentary, will be released at select theaters across the United States. "The Zookeeper's Wife" was a fictionalized feature film based on the 2007 nonfiction book by Diane Ackerman. Antonina and Jan, the Warzaw Zoo's director, saved about 300 Jews during World War II. In 2017 the moviegoing world was introduced to the inspiring story of Antonina Zabinska and Jan Zabinski, her husband.
