A high-stakes true crime story where activism, justice and love collide. Two passionate animal activists risk everything – including prison – to challenge the law and save vulnerable animals. But as filming unfolds, their shared mission takes an unexpected turn when a remarkable love story begins to develop between them. With exclusive frontline access, this gripping documentary follows Rose Patterson and Wayne Hsiung as they carry out daring rescues, confront legal battles and face the consequences of breaking the law. As the stakes rise, they must ask: when does rescuing an innocent life become a crime? Blending the tension of true crime with the emotion of an extraordinary romance, Crime or Rescue is a powerful story of courage, conviction and sacrifice, offering a compelling insight into a controversial global movement.
