SAN DIEGO - eTravelWire -- TORCH ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES THE FROZEN ZOO DOCUMENTARY

San Diego, CA — Torch Entertainment is proud to announce the completion of production on The Frozen Zoo, a groundbreaking documentary created in collaboration with the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. This powerful film highlights one of the most visionary and impactful conservation efforts on the planet.

The story of The Frozen Zoo began more than 50 years ago when world-renowned geneticist Dr. Kurt Benirschke first introduced the revolutionary idea of preserving tissue samples from endangered and threatened animals in cryogenic labs. Dr. Benirschke and his early colleagues could not have foreseen the scientific breakthroughs ahead—advancements that today make these preserved samples essential tools in the global fight to prevent species extinction.

The documentary revisits Dr. Benirschke's groundbreaking vision through archival footage and interviews with his colleagues — many of whom continue to lead the Alliance's cutting-edge research. Their work is shaping the future of wildlife conservation and bringing endangered species back from the brink.
