About this movie

All odds were against the pit-bulls freed from NFL quarterback Michael Vick's dogfighting ring. Forced to fight for their lives, they were considered so dangerous many wanted them put down. This award-winning documentary follows the courageous people who risked everything to rescue these dogs and illustrates how their lives were ultimately changed forever.

Ratings and reviews

This film is one of the most incredible films I have ever seen in promoting the wonders of these beautiful dogs. Because the media has more or less destroyed this breed of dog by their promotion of lies about pitbulls our society believes they are not great family dogs and can never be. This is pure discrimination against these loyal, intelligent, loving dogs and this film does more than any other film in showing how amazing they are. Society has to have its eyes opened and this documentary goes a long way in doing just that. These dogs in this movie were abused very badly and yet have come so very far and in fact have actually become therapy dogs. This is a must see for anyone that loves dogs.

I was so into this that I did not notice any thing other than what was on my TV!! I cuddled with my staffie Sandy all nite!! She is going on 12 in July, and, have had her since 8 weeks old! If only the entire world would see this documentary. Maybe it would change views on this loving breed! It is all about the owner!

This great documentary shines A light on how ignorant people are with pit bulls and how mistreated pitbulls are in the world today I have A pitbull and she's so great she means the world to me great doc must watch
