Beyond the Myth Chicago Illinois

This film screening of Beyond the Myth is being hosted by It's a Pittie Rescue , a volunteer, no-kill and non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabbing and rehoming the Pit Bull breeds and educating people about one of America's most loyal and kind breeds, one dog at a time.

Beyond the Myth : The Truth About Pit Bulls

Beyond the Myth is about dog breeds commonly referred to as"pit bulls" and those who love these breeds. Viewers are taken on a journey to four U.S. cities where Breed Specific Legislation focusing on "pit bulls" has profoundly impacted people and animals: Denver, Miami, Cincinnati, and San Francisco.

The documentary intelligently explores the contributing factors behind the public's generalized fear of "pit bulls", and examines the conflict existing between advocates and opponents of breed
discriminatory laws, commonly referred to as breed bans.

It investigates the myths associated with these breeds, challenges the idea that they are inherently vicious, presents eye-opening research regarding the media's role in influencing people's opinion on dog attacks.
