Yesterday afternoon, amongst friends, pit bull advocates and lovers, I sat down at the Hyland Theater in London to watch the screening of Beyond The Myth. Produced by "Cover Y'All Productions", Beyond the Myth (from the website) is a film about pit bulls and those who love and defend the breed. It explores the contributing factors behind the public's generalized fear of pit bulls and examines the conflict existing between advocates and opponents of Breed Specific Legislation (BSL). It also investigates the myths associated with the breed and asks the question, "What exactly is a pit bull"? Beyond the Myth challenges the idea that pit bulls are inherently vicious and goes one-on-one with people on both sides of this controversial issue.
Watch the trailer.
The film was eye opening and heartbreaking - I think we all shed a few tears. Sometimes our messages get lost in our emotions, but the film did a good job of remaining factual and educational. The film exposes media bias and challenged perceptions.
I left the theater inspired to do more. Anyone who loves dogs, and anyone who is in favor of BSL, should see this movie.
