Swinging by with Thanks To 'Ozi: Voice of the Forest'

We are always grateful to our supporters, and huge thanks go to the production team behind the animated family feature film, Ozi: Voice of the Forest.

This heartwarming story follows Ozi, a young orphaned orangutan, as she embarks on an epic adventure to save her forest home and reunite with her family. With its powerful message of environmental conservation and the importance of every voice in making a difference, Ozi is set to inspire audiences around the world.

As the credits roll at the end of Ozi, viewers are encouraged to continue the journey by scanning the QR code displayed on the screen and making a donation to International Animal Rescue, where you can make a contribution to help protect endangered species and preserve the rainforests that are crucial to their survival.

“We are always grateful for any support received, and encouraging the audience to donate using a QR code at the end of each screening of the Ozi feature film is a brilliant idea. This will help to raise awareness and vital funds for International Animal Rescue and support our efforts to save animals and protect their natural habitats. Together, we can make a difference.” Said Gavin Bruce, CEO of International Animal Rescue.

Ozi, Voice of the Forest, is an animated feature film that highlights the threats to our planet’s rainforests caused by rising deforestation and its consequences for its ecosystems.

Supported by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions and multi-Academy-Award-winning producer Mike Medavoy, the animated film follows the journey of Ozi- a young and courageous orangutan, as she embarks on a quest for the safety of her home. With her ability to communicate with plants and animals, Ozi serves as an inspiration for those living in the forest to resist encroachment. Ozi, Voice of the Forest, features the voices of Dean Charles Chapman, Djimon Hounsou, Laura Dern, RuPaul Charles, Urzila Carlson and the late Donald Sutherland.

Besides highlighting the natural beauty of the world, this animated film is well aligned with International Animal Rescue’s mission of delivering conservation and coexistence between humans and the environment.
