"RESCUE" Premiere Opening Night LA

October 16, 2026

JOIN director ALESSIO SCHIAZZA, producer Tamara Human from Ukraine, plus Earthlings’ director SHAUN MONSON, and more for this moving exclusive Los Angeles DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE, included in the year’s DOC LA film festival. JOAQUIN PHOENIX quotes “In the face of so much human suffering, I’m struck by the tenderness in Alessio’s film. Caring about animals doesn’t mean caring less about people. In fact, it might reveal just how much someone is capable of caring. And perhaps the film gives us a way to recognize some of that same sensitivity and care in ourselves.” As the full-scale war in Ukraine forces millions to flee, rescuers move in the opposite direction - toward destroyed villages, active shelling, and mined roads - to save animals left behind when humans are forced to escape. A film not to miss! Join us Thursday! https://partiful.com/e/iC9ZgO6zZXKZDMtSRc7S?
