A Dog's Life Archive: Stray

In light of the recent news in Turkey that the government has passed a bill ordering the destruction of all street dogs and cats there, we start our Summer Archive season with our conversation with Elizabeth Lo, the director of a stunning documentary Stray which follows the every day life of stray dogs led by Zeytin, an Anatolian Shepherd dog, in Istanbul, a city at that point, that not only tolerates but cares for them.

Find out where you can watch Stray wherever you are.

The Wild At Heart Foundation is helping to organise a petition and protest against the new laws here.
