Individual chapters address the representation of zoological spaces in classical and contemporary Hollywood cinema, documentary and animation, amateur and avant-garde film, popular television and online media.

Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han Moon chose 2010-2013, the 60th anniversary marking the beginning and end of the Korean War, to send the Little Angels as patriotic ambassadors to thank the veterans in 22 nations for saving the nation of Korea from the invading communist forces and for rescuing Father Moon from a death sentence in a North Korean concentration camp. During this period, the Little Angels travelled the equivalent of more than six times around the world. More than 20,000 Korean War veterans and their families and over 100,000 people attended the Little Angels events in 22 nations. GOD'S HOLY WAR TO RESCUE THE MESSIAH, an eyewitness account of the three-year period, honors the courageous men and women who saved a nation and rescued the Messiah.
