In The Great Private Life of Animals, celebrities try to produce an animal documentary. They must research, trace and record the wild animals’ life. The show focuses on two things: one is the documentary itself. Their work is probably raw in terms of the technique, but the voice in it is very loud and clear: human and nature should live together. The other is the production story. Joy, frustration, and a sense of accomplishment in making a documentary will be another fun element of the show.

14-year-old Joe is the only child of Jeanette and Jerry — a housewife and a golf pro — in a small town in 1960s Montana. Nearby, an uncontrolled forest fire rages close to the Canadian border, and when Jerry loses his job (and his sense of purpose) he decides to join the cause of fighting the fire, leaving his wife and son to fend for themselves.

A wounded shut-in attempts to free himself from the ghosts and savage history that has kept him bound in the town of Springville, Utah.

In the heart of the city, animals are just a cup of coffee away. But quietly, their lives are changing. In December 2023, amendments to the Wildlife Protection and Zoo Acts were passed—after a four-year grace period, exhibition animals can no longer remain here. So where should they go? Every relationship needs the right distance. What do you think is the right distance between humans and animals?
