Witness the incredible story of the WRCNU (Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah) and their fight to continue saving Utah's wildlife after suddenly losing their building for the ironic expansion of Ogden's dinosaur park. We follow the founder, DaLyn Marthaler, as she navigates the 6 month deadline Ogden City gave them to leave their building and find a new one, all without any financial support from the government. They take in 4,000 animals a year, so that is 4,000 dead animals if they don't make it work by the time their building is demolished.
Filmmaker Josh Carter's goal is to help inspire change to help our hurting planet. He wants to use film as a medium for education and motivation for people to understand the struggles wildlife go through, along with the beauty of nature. He started making films in 2019, and got involved in wildlife conservation the same year. Wild Spirit is part of a longer project of making episodes on rescue centers around the world for a docu-series.
