Infos

People have been enchanted by elephants for centuries. For Gerry Creighton, this fascination began at an early age. His father was a keeper at Dublin Zoo, and he instilled in Gerry a love and respect for animals. It wasn't long before Gerry followed in his footsteps, joining the zoo at 15, where he would spend the next 36 years. Joyful and life-affirming, Raised by the Zoo is the story of a life spent in service to elephants, and how by watching and listening to them how they interact and care for each other, form relationships and teach the next generation they can show us what it really means to be human.
