Through the Eyes of the Director
Niki Caro has shot films from the remote reaches of Whangara, New Zealand [Whale Rider] to "The Range" of northern Minnesota [North Country]. Her latest work, The Zookeeper's Wife, took her and her crew to Prague - the timeless snapshot of old-world Europe.
While abroad Caro chronicled her shoot on Instagram [@nikicaro].

Last Day in Prague. I will miss the beautiful city, my colleagues, the animals - also this guy. Seen every morning I ran over the bridge. I wish him an abundant catch, and to all of you sweet people who have followed this journey, abundance wherever you're looking for it. That's it from me. Adios. Over and out x #thezookeeperswife #zookeeperswife #jessicachastain
