Take Me to Mars (2026)
Take Me to Mars (2026)
The people, the passion, and the pygmy hippo who put Tanganyika on the world’s map.
In a tiny town just west of Wichita, a family-run wildlife park is making waves. Visitors are traveling from across the country — and around the world — to visit a wildlife park most people couldn't point to on a map. Word of mouth turned into a movement. All part of the park's mission to inspire the stewardship of rare and endangered species. When a documentary crew arrived in Goddard, Kansas, they came looking for an answer to one simple question:What's all the buzz about? What they found was a family who has poured four decades into that mission. A care team that shows up before sunrise and stays long after the gates close. And one pint-sized pygmy hippo named Mars, whose larger-than-life personality launched Tanganyika into the global spotlight. This isn't just a story about a zoo. It's about the people, the passion, and the pygmy hippo who put Tanganyika on the world's map.
