The Ark (1993)
In this series of four films, Dineen reveals the inner workings of London Zoo as the institution is rocked by uncertainty and change. Accompanying the zoo's keepers, managers, and animal inhabitants during a period of profound crisis, the series is a delightful, candid and moving portrait of the passions and pressures at work within this much-loved menagerie.
