Between the American financed and supported (and mean) Iraqi army and the cruel insanity of the ISIS Jihadist, in 2014, and for three years after, the regular people of Mosul lived their days and nights in constant fear of torture, murder, and disappearance forever.

From the start, we are on the side of Abu Laith, FATHER OF LIONS, as he rescues a lion cub and attempts to transform a park into a zoo where he can keep the little cub, Zombie, safe and well fed.

This proves nearly impossible despite the valiant efforts of Abu Laith and his family once the ISIS Daeshis take over the zoo and so make it a target for American bombings.

After Liberation by the Americans, Abu Laith makes contact with both a local man, Hakan Zarari, and a rescue doctor who are able to get the food and medical care needed to save Zombie and Lula, the bear.

Some things are hard to understand. Why did Hakam and his family risk death rather than waiting a few more days for the Liberation to be in place? Why did Abu Laith not ask his son in America to go online to request help to feed the animals and his family? What right did Dr. Amir have to endanger his doctor friend's life by giving him no choice?
