OPERATION ARK

Kerry Hutchinson narrates this heartrending account of Pen Farthing's escape from Afghanistan and his refusal to leave the animals and staff of his charity's rescue program behind. Operation Ark documents the events that took place when the Taliban invaded Kabul in 2021. More interested in eye-catching headlines than accuracy and substance, the media vilified Farthing for prioritizing "pets over people." Farthing intends to get the story straight in this account and clear his name. Hutchinson narrates with passion and purpose. He skillfully reports an enormous number of events and the extensive detail accompanying them with a light-handed, positive energy that maintains the listener's engagement.
