In this film, Detroit resident Nicole Macdonald uses BBC footage and surveillance tapes from motion sensor cameras, to take a Night at the Museum look at the flora and fauna that are reclaiming the island's abandoned zoo. Macdonald provides insightful commentary about her beloved city with this visual field guide in which she labels plants and identifies the wildlife caught on tape. Among them: a pair of foxes living next to an abandoned office chair in the old seal pool and a bear caught wandering on the cracked pavement near the deserted pavilion. Written by RS See less
