An American Opera: The Greatest Pet Rescue Ever! is a multi-award winning documentary film by Tom McPhee chronicling the events following Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana when pet owners were forced to evacuate without their pets. An American Opera follows the pets, vets, owners, officials, rescuers, and adopters of animals as they try to remedy the situation, revealing that not everyone had the same goal of saving animals. Tom McPhee directed, narrated, and produced the film with the production companies Man Smiling Moving Pictures and Cave Studio.

Synopsis

Interviewing leaders of animal organizations and volunteers who went to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, it is revealed that at the beginning, everyone had different ideas about how things should be done, but no one was willing to take charge because the problem was bigger than anyone could have imagined. The film champions the volunteers whose only concern was saving animals, unlike the animal organizations who were more concerned with the chain of command.

Avec des dizaines de kilos en trop, chargé de stéroïdes et soufrant d’une maladie auto-immune particulièrement débilitante, Joe Cross est au bout du rouleau et n’a plus aucun espoir. Dans le miroir, il voit un homme de 140 kg avec des intestins plus gros qu’un ballon de football, un pied déjà dans la tombe et l’autre pas loin derrière. Avec des docteurs incapables de l’aider et une médecine sans solution, Joe se tourne vers le dernier espoir qui lui reste: la capacité de son corps à se guérir lui même. Il décide de se passer de mal-bouffe, et de ne plus consommer que des jus de fruits et légumes frais pendant 60 jours, tout en voyageant à travers l’Amérique. Durant ce périple de 1500 km Joe n’a plus qu’une idée en tête: se sortir de sa dépendance aux médicaments et vivre une vie saine et équilibré.

The film is a character-driven documentary, which also reveals and explores a subculture of large wild animal keeping and breeding across the United States. The film starts from the premise that there are more tigers in private hands in the United States than there are roaming wild in the world. And, that it is legal in half of the United States to keep a tiger or other big cat. The Tiger Next Door follows the story of a man named Dennis Hill who has been keeping and breeding tigers from his backyard in Flat Rock, Indiana for over 15 years. When the film begins, Hill has recently lost his federal USDA license to keep and breed tigers, bears and cougars and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources is threatening to shut him down citing dangerous and inhumane conditions. Hill has five days remaining to upgrade his facilities and place all but three of his 24 tigers, three bears, six leopards and one cougar in alternate homes—before the Indiana DNR will consider issuing licenses for the remaining three animals.
