The Mountain Ark: A Ken Bailey Film<\/p>\n
Lissa Margetts, one of Telluride\u2019s most beloved characters and quintessential figures, connects with animals on a deep level. She is resilient, independent and not to be contained, just like the animals she works with. From childhood she shared a strong connection with animals and her community. After starting the workforce in the defense industry, Margetts decided to return to her mountain community where she founded the Rocky Mountain Ark Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The Ark was an internationally known institution that sheltered and rehabilitated injured animals on a 14 acre preserve. Her educational outreach program reached over 100,000 school children. The documentary follows Margetts on a day filled with surprise, grief, death and human interactions which leaves the audience in laughter, tears and astonishment.<\/p>\n
