Two girls prepare for a fun day at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels, Belgium, with the same expectations, but very different outcomes.

In short, ZOO captures a day at Volkerschau, a 'human zoo', or Negro Village, from the point of view of a 7 year old African Girl, and a 7 year old German Girl. Zoo celebrates freedom, explores perceived beauty and dreams deferred. It is a quiet dialogue that coolly observes humanity, unapologetically uncovers a loss of innocence, puts a magnifying glass on mother-daughter relationships, and looks racism in its ugly eyes. Zoo, a dialog on humanity, demonstrates that we don't know racism until we learn it. All of us are human, some of us only pretend to be.
