Praised by critics as one of the best films of the year, The Elephant in the Living Room takes viewers on a journey deep inside the controversial American subculture of raising the most dangerous animals in the world, as common household pets. Set against the backdrop of a heated national debate, director Michael Webber chronicles the extraordinary story of two men at the heart of the issue – Tim Harrison, an Ohio police officer whose friend was killed by an exotic pet; and Terry Brumfield, a big-hearted man who struggles to raise two African lions that he loves like his own family. In the first of many unexpected twists, the lives of these two men collide when Terry’s male lion escapes its pen and is found attacking cars on a nearby highway. Winner of 5 Best Documentary Awards, the film courageously exposes the shocking reality behind the multi-billion dollar exotic pet industry with stunning photography…

The Elephant in the Living Room (2010)

A well shot documentary concerning the world of domesticating exotic animals, “The Elephant in the Living Room” takes a hard look at the law officers who try to protect the interest of these animals and the welfare of the public versus the people who love, raise, and shelter these majestic creatures. Tim Harrison is a police officer who seems to have to walk a thin line of being the bad guy and the hero. He desires to protect the citizens he is under oath to serve as well as protecting the exotic animals and finding them proper homes. The documentary shows Harrison’s struggle of taking the animals out of the homes where people genuinely love and care for them and putting them into a metal caged enclosure or sending them to their own death. He seems to carry a large amount of guilt and hesitation, as he tries to the tow the line, knowing that as much as someone may love these animals, they are wild at heart.

After suffering serious injury from an automobile accident, Terry Brumfield adopted to African lions in an attempt to cure him of his depression. As the lions grew, so did Terry’s connection to them, and eventually his two original lions mated and gave birth to four baby cubs. All of which Terry is trying to raise with just the help of his wife. Terry struggles with his own physical limitations and struggles with the decision of giving up his beloved animals, as well as finding a home where they can remain together.

The documentary does an excellent job of showcasing both sides of the debate without trying to sway the viewer either. I personally struggled with connecting to Terry and his love of his animals and Harrison’s duty to protect everyone involved. At times adorable and heart wrenching, this is quite the documentary.

I saw this movie in the theater with my family. I was quite speechless at the end. It is the story of how wild animals go unregulated on many States. When they get loose it is up to authorities to chase them down and catch them. Tim Harrison is great in the film and gives us a peek at his world. Sometimes scary, sometimes heartbreaking, but never boring.

Michael Webber has done a fine job of giving us both sides of the story. We see it from Tim's side and from the side of a man who owns wild animals. A must see!

The Elephant in the Living Room (2010)

I have been permanently altered by this documentary, one of the best animal and human relations films I have ever seen. Even two months after seeing it at the Sonoma International Film Festival, I keep reflecting on the many beautiful and heart-wrenching stories interwoven in this compelling and unbelievable tale of the lives of exotic animals and the people who buy and own them in the United States. It will open your eyes to the true cost of allowing exotic animals to be imported into our country. And the plight is not only for the animals but for the people who buy, love, and care (or try to care) for them. Compassion, courage, and candor are what make this movie so touching and real.

The Elephant in the Living Room (2010)

You get more than just a passing glimpse into the lives of people affected by exotic animal ownership. You will come to love a real American hero, Tim Harrison, as he tries to walk the fine line between caring for both the animals and the people affected by the choices they make in becoming exotic animal owners. You will also be moved by the story of Terry, a man in Ohio who was given the gift of a lion cub one fateful day. What is so great about The Elephant in the Living Room is that the director, Michael Webber, clearly followed his heart in creating this film. Instead of a superficial story, he traveled all over the country painstakingly documenting and following the lives of some unique individuals and animals that you will never forget. Lambert the Lion will stay in my heart forever. Thank you for making this film, Michael!
