This has got to be among the cutest and sweetest documentaries ever. Pick of the Litter directed by Dana Nachman and Don Hardy, follows a litter of puppies from the moment they’re born and begin their quest to become guide dogs for the blind. The film World Premiered earlier this year at the 2018 Slamdance Film Festival and went on to become an audience pleaser winning Audience Awards at multiple film festivals. Sundance Selects will release Pick of the Litter in theaters on August 31, 2018.
Cameras follow these pups through an intense two-year odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners from harm. Along the way, these remarkable animals rely on a community of dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing, life-changing things in the service of their human. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter.
