Zoo (Volkerschau) (Drama) Trailer - https://vimeo.com/133150473  11 mins.

Director/Writer: Monda Raquel Webb

Synopsis: Zoo (Volkerschau) is a period piece, set in 1958 Berlin, Germany and Brussels, Belgium.  The short  is based on a day at the World's Fair Exhibit of Volkerschau, a "human zoo", from the point of view of a 7 year old African Girl, and a 7 year old German Girl.  "Zoo" celebrates freedom, explores perceived beauty and dreams deferred. It is a quiet dialogue that coolly observes humanity, unapologetically uncovers a loss of innocence, puts a magnifying glass on mother-daughter relationships, and looks racism in its ugly eyes. It has received awards and recognitions at many film festivals, including Excellence Award, International Film Festival for Women, Jakarta, Indonesia , Winner: Audience Award, Baltimore International Film Festival, Baltimore, MD , Official Selection - International Film Festival, Marbella, Spain (December 2015), Merit Award, Women Filmmakers, Best Shorts Competition, La Jolla California.
