Here are the finalized details for the upcoming screening of One Lucky Elephant:

"This is Flora's Story"

A must-see film for all audiences!

A story that will change hearts and minds regarding elephants in captivity and will, through public awareness and education, help bring an end to the use of animals in entertainment.


Two screenings will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2011

First screening: 11:45am

Second screening: 2:30pm


Refreshments will be served between screenings, courtesy of Bridgehead and OADL volunteers.

Featured Guest Speaker:

Following each show Rob Laidlaw, of Zoocheck Canada will address the audience followed by a Q&A session.

Rob Laidlaw is founder of Zoocheck Canada and author of several books, including one children's book called "On Parade", a follow-up to his highly acclaimed book, "Wild Animals in Captivity".
