SMART - Feature Documentary - USA

Imagine your pet - a member of your family - stranded on a cliff, stuck in a lake, starving on top of a 100' palm tree or trapped underneath an abandoned home. Who would you call?

​Meet Armando Navarrete and Los Angeles' Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team. SMART - the extraordinary documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Justin Zimmerman - showcases Armando's journey as he grapples to get his team off the ground, survives death-defying rescues and finds love, all in the midst of LA's heart-breaking animal shelter system. It's "Blackhawk Down" meets "Blackfish" and an unforgettable experience for anyone who's shared a bond with an animal.
