DANA NACHMAN

Pick of the Litter follows a litter of puppies from the moment they’re born and begin their quest to become guide dogs for the blind. Cameras follow these pups through an intense two-year odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners from harm. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut—only the best of the best. Opening Night Slamdance Film Festival. Bought by IFC Films. Four Audience Awards and two Best Female Director Awards.
