Damaged Goods - an independent British film about dog fighting

A new film is being made in the North East of England, centred around the topic of how a brother and sister find a a beaten up dog and nurse him back to health - but get dragged back into the dog fighting world, when they have to fight to save him. The star is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who the film-makers say has a fantastic temperament, and is a very sweet-natured dog.

Mike Tweddle, the director of the film says, "The story is about a young boy's relationship with the dog and the dog's history, having come from the evil world of dog-fighting, and the aim of the film is to highlight that this dangerous wicked and illegal activity still goes on."

They are working with the RSPCA in an effort to make the film as accurate as possible, and are starting filming this summer.

I look forward to seeing it - about time we had a film highlighting that dog-fighting is still going on, let's hope the film is an accurate portrayal - and a big hit

I also heartily welcome a film that shows this evil activity as it really is and let us hope that this will reach more people and have a bigger impact than the media usually give to the subject.
