This is the trailer for the first feature-length documentary film to explore the 4,000-year history of the greyhound breed. Second only to the cheetah in speed and acceleration, these regal hot rods are one of nature’s near-perfect creations. A work in progress with a planned release in June 2013, the film will also feature an evenhanded examination of the history and inner workings of the highly controversial greyhound racing industry in the U.S.
It will include on-camera commentary from greyhound racing’s most vocal opponents, racing greyhound breeders, kennel and track owners, racing officials, professional gamblers, bookies, veterinarians, greyhound adoption group leaders, greyhound pet owners, and others.
