SCREENING:

AMERICAN PIT BULL
63 minutes
Unrated
2007
Directed by Marilyn Braverman

AMERICAN PIT BULL explores the evolution of the breed
from an upper-class working dog and beloved companion
to a fighter and guard dog for inner city residents.
It examines the stereotypes associated with the Pit
Bull, which is also known as the American
Staffordshire Terrier.

This is the first screening of AMERICAN PIT BULL in
the Northwest.

PLUS:

SHELTER DOGS
72 minutes
Unrated
2003
Directed by Cynthia Wade

Each year, almost 5 million dogs end up in animal
shelters - but not every dog is safe to place with a
family. What if a shelter dog shows aggression, or is
a known biter - should he be adopted out? For two
years filmmaker Cynthia Wade was given unprecedented
access to Rondout Valley Kennels and its controversial
owner Sue Sternberg, and the result is an
award-winning film about ethics in a morally ambiguous
world."
