Greyhound: Racing Into The Light
.
I was excited to hear about this documentary that is in production. Greyhound: Racing Into The Light is a full length documentary by director Bill Buchanan about the 4,000 year history of this amazing breed,  along with the current racing industry…those that support it and those that oppose it. Here’s what the creators of the documentary have to say about their purpose in making this film:
Our Purpose: To Inform, Not to Judge
As an ethical documentary film director, Bill Buchanan’s role is not to judge the racing industry or those who either oppose or support it. Rather, it is to reveal that world as evenhandedly, objectively, and interestingly as possible. While racing greyhound officials, owners, breeders, trainers and kennel owners seem genuinely intent on doing a better job of policing their own, they seem incapable of finding common ground. GREYHOUND should help further motivate those within the industry to weed out its bad actors and address the issues for which they are criticized.Should audiences walk away believing greyhound racing should be banned, so be it. Conversely, should they head for the track to watch and bet on the dogs, so be it. Whatever their views, they will gain an appreciation and respect for an animal whose gentleness, beauty, and breathtaking athleticism words cannot describe.
Greyhound: Racing Into The Light has a beautiful website where you can watch a trailer and learn more about this film.
Want to be a part of this project? Mr. Buchanan has a Kickstarter project started that will run until April 22. The documentary is expected to be released in July 2013.

I bet that will be really interesting. Hope it makes its way to this side of the pond… eventually! Deccy x
It looks very interesting. In the trailer, there is a dog that rolls during a race. I didn’t care for that, but I guess that is part of showing all sides. I will see this when it comes out.

I’ve been planning to write about that movie, too! I was disappointed to see the trailer come down from YouTube, so I’m glad there’s a website where people can see it! I’m really looking forward to seeing the movie.
That sounds like a movie I’d love to see!
