Wang Minchul has been exploring the relationship between animals and humans through three documentaries on zoos, sanctuaries, and wild animals since 2015. This newly published book is based on his experiences over a decade of work, covering various stories from zoos to sanctuaries.
The book is divided into four parts, each delving into the actual scenes Wang encountered and the changes he witnessed, providing an intimate look at animal life, responsibility, and care. It challenges readers with questions about whether enough change has occurred since the time of his first documentaries 'Three Parts on Animals'.
Through stories of bears transferred from zoos to fur farms, the book illustrates how animals and humans interact. Rather than focusing solely on achievements, it encourages deep reflection on the meaning of change.
