Trivia:
Never released theatrically in the United States, supposedly out of concern for its controversial subject matter. It did air on HBO several times. moreGoofs:
Crew or equipment visible: When Julie Sawyer first takes the dog to the animal training center, Carruthers is on the phone but tells her to sit down. To his right, almost out of frame, you can see some fingers moving. Most likely the dog's trainer making signs. moreFAQ

If you get the chance, by all means see this movie, but try to leave your preconceptions aside.
Before this movie came out, it was roundly denounced by people who misunderstood what it is about. The story is not, as many feared, about a dog trained to attack black people. It is the story of a man (Paul Winfield) and his determination to do something that everyone says cannot be done - FREE the dog of its programming. Unfortunately, it seems that too few people were able to break THEIR programming and give this movie a chance.
