"This is an underdog film in many ways, that found the spotlight at Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, winning the top jury prize of Best Feature at the 2019 event. A heart wrenching story told by an emerging filmmaker in challenging circumstances, this film left audiences and the jury at once stunned, impressed and heartened." - Joanne Feinberg
India has the highest number of street dogs of any country on Earth. With rapid development, an intense conversation of the future of these dogs is currently taking place. Can a modern India exist with free-roaming dogs throughout its major cities? Pariah Dog is a creative documentary focusing on several eccentric individuals who care for and love these dogs in Kolkata, the former colonial capital. Shot over three years, the film paints a kaleidoscopic picture of the city of Kolkata, seen through the prism of four outsiders and the dogs they love. The Indian Pariah dog is one of the oldest breeds of dogs in the world, almost untouched by human breeding, now struggling to survive in India’s massively populated cities. The human characters in Pariah dog find themselves in a similar predicament, out of place and time in a world they find uncaring and harsh. Their answer is to show compassion and love to creatures who are suffering. But this alone is not always enough to sustain them, either materially or emotionally.
