The zookeepers wife cast9/25/2023 The movie opens in 1939 with a slice-of-life look at the Warsaw Zoo, which Jan ( Johan Heldenbergh) and Antonina Zabinski ( Jessica Chastain) run together as they raise their son - and it is a sweet life, almost bordering on saccharine with its lush, colorful scenes of Antonina bidding each animal in the zoo good morning with the air of Disney princess. The film feels timely, considering the political agitation and general unrest pervasive in today's world. The Zabinskis rescued and sheltered approximately 300 Jewish people from the Warsaw ghettos during World War II, ultimately saving their lives. The Zookeeper's Wife, based on the book of the same name by Diane Ackerman, tells the story of the Zabinskis, a real-life Polish couple who refused to witness evil and do nothing. It is said that there are two types of evil people in this world: Those who do evil, and those who witness evil being done but do nothing.
