The Tucson Wildlife Center has rescued, rehabilitated and released thousands of injured and orphaned wild animals throughout Southern Arizona since it started in 1998.
Because the center is not open for public visits, most of its work has gone largely unseen.
Until now, thanks to a new film series called "Tucson Wildlife Center: On Camera" that includes an introduction and actual stories of rescue and recovery.
The series is a collaboration between filmmaker Marcus De Leon, the Hanson Film Institute and students from the University of Arizona's School of Theatre, Film & Television.
It can be viewed online at tucsonwildlife.com and will also be available on a DVD at the Tucson Festival of Books this weekend.
The Tucson Wildlife Center will have a booth, just north of the Main Library where people can meet DeLeon and some of the film students, and possibly an animal or two. The DVD will be available for a $10 suggested donation that benefits the nonprofit center.
"I fell in love with the animals, the mission and the people," said De Leon, who has volunteered at the center for two years.
