Our feature presentation, STREET DOGS OF SOUTH CENTRAL is a groundbreaking documentary soon to be released by Lion's Gate Entertainment. Shot like a National Geographic nature film and narrated by Queen Latifah "Street Dogs Of South Central" is a groundbreaking documentary that takes us deep into the world LosAngeles' packs of street dogs. Street dogs are in every neighborhood in Los Angeles and they go unnoticed, their stories unheard. This magnificent film gives us an inside look at those stories as seen through the eyes of Elsie, a young mother who is struggling to raise her pups in a hostile urban world. STREET DOGS OF SOUTH CENTRAL captures the truly challenging conditions of canine life on the street while also revealing that loyalty, friendship, affection and love do still prevail.
