SMART: Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team “We’re the last line. If we can’t do it, no one can. We haven’t walked away from a rescue yet.” Armando Navarrete
In just 74 minutes filmmaker Justin Zimmerman tells a myriad number of stories about the creation of SMART, the daredevil staff who rescue animals, and stories of many rescues.
Based in Los Angeles, SMART is the first, most highly skilled animal rescue organization of its kind—all thanks to its founder, Armando Navarrete. Although we hear from several team members, the principal characters are Navarrete and Annette Ramirez each of whom make powerful impressions on viewers. Navarrete’s hope, of course, is to spread his team’s model around the world.
