SHEPHERD explores the plight of the Jewish people in 1930s Germany
through the lens of a young Jewish boy and his German Shepherd.
"The timeless, unbreakable bond between a boy and his faithful dog is put
to the ultimate test in 1930s Germany, in the heartwarming family drama
SHEPHERD: THE HERO DOG. When the Nuremberg Laws are passed forbidding
Jews to own pets, Kaleb, a German Shepherd, is separated from his Jewish
family and his beloved 10 year old master, Joshua (August Maturo).
Kaleb becomes a street dog, is captured and eventually adopted by an SS
dog trainer (Ken Duken) at a Nazi work camp where Kaleb has now been
trained to help round up and terrorize Jewish prisoners. But one day
when a new trainload of prisoners arrives at the camp, Joshua steps out
of that train and the dog rediscovers his unwavering loyalty. Together
the pair attempts to escape the camp and begin the perilous journey to
freedom. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Lynn Roth and based on the
bestselling Israeli novel by Asher Kravitz, this sensitively told story
of love, loyalty and courage is appropriate for viewers of all ages."
SHEPHERD: THE HERO DOG will premiere in the UK
beginning Monday, June 29th on such platforms as: Amazon, Itunes, XBox,
and Virgin.
