Knowland Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana This riveting documentary film explores the issues of loss of ecologically sensitive lands and the place and future of zoos in the twenty first century. The story revolves around the expansion plans of the Oakland Zoo into the ecologically sensitive park lands of beautiful Knowland Park. One of the many ironies revealed in this film is the Oakland’s Zoo’s intention to build a native California exhibit by destroying irreplaceable native Californian lands. When will we ever learn? If we keep handing over ecologically sensitive lands for development the inevitable result will be the destruction of our species. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/knowland
