Benjamin Mee Biography

Benjamin Mee's amazing narrative of victory over tragedy and the passion and dedication it takes to achieve is a lesson in the power of following your goals. We Bought a Zoo, a critically acclaimed feature film starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson, was released in December 2011 and tells Mee's tale. Mee found the decrepit Dartmoor Wildlife Park in the English countryside while looking for a new house for his family, and quickly began following his new dream: to acquire the zoo, renovate it, and manage it as a family business. Mee, a former journalist, and his family relocated and spent their whole life savings to buy and repair the park. As if that wasn't enough of a struggle, the Mees was also faced with the task of caring for the park's 200 exotic animals. But they weren't the only difficulties Mee and his family had to overcome. Katherine, their loving wife, and mother, died of a recurrent brain tumor not long after they moved into the park. Mee, dedicated to keeping her dream alive, opened the zoo to the public in 2007, accomplishing his aim while also rescuing several of the park's animals. Mee tells his incredible experience and the strength and dedication are needed to accomplish his goal in his memoir, We Bought a Zoo: The Amazing True Story of a Young Family, a Broken Down Zoo, and the 200 Wild Animals Who Changed Their Lives Forever. He emphasizes the necessity of working hard to achieve our objectives, especially in the face of hardship.
