Editorial Reviews

Praised by critics as one of the best films of the year, Elephant in the Living Room takes viewers on a journey deep into the controversial American subculture of raising wild predators as common household pets. Award winning director Michael Webber follows the extraordinary lives of two men at the heart of the issue Tim Harrison, an Ohio Police officer whose friend was killed by an exotic pet; and Terry Brumfield, a big-hearted man who struggles to raise two pet African lions that he loves like his own family. Winner of 5 Best Documentary Awards, The Elephant in the Living Room, takes audiences on an emotional roller coaster ride straight through the heart of this heated national debate.

I saw this movie in the theater with my family. I was quite speechless at the end. It is the story of how wild animals go unregulated on many States. When they get loose it is up to authorities to chase them down and catch them. Tim Harrison is great in the film and gives us a peek at his world. Sometimes scary, sometimes heartbreaking, but never boring.

Michael Webber has done a fine job of giving us both sides of the story. We see it from Tim's side and from the side of a man who owns wild animals. A must see!

This review is from: Elephant in the Living Room (DVD)

By watching the trailer alone, it was easy to get lost in the story of this compelling movie. I would definitely recommend watching this before going out and buying pets which you cannot or should not care for, exotic or not. A definite eye opening experience and very emotional, a great film indeed 10/10 5 stars
