Oliver was a bear who had been incarcerated in a small metal cage for 30 years in a Chinese bile farm until his rescue in 2010 by charity Animals Asia. He lived four full years at the sanctuary he called home, with the sun on his back and grass beneath his feet. He passed in November 2014.... This film and the drawing is dedicated to the lives he touched and the nation he changed. Limited edition prints will be available soon from www.richardsymonds.co.uk in support of www.animalssaia.org
