From dog-lawyers in Detroit to clone-farms in Iowa, "Dogs Are People Too" road-trips America to follow a landmark civil rights trial over the killing of a dog. The mother of the deceased dog wants to bring those who killed her boy to justice. On her journey she steps into a world of dog-lawyers and canine rights that is bubbling under the surface of America. Her trial spotlights a conflict - whilst Americans love their dogs as family members, legally they own them as property, with no more rights than a table or chair. We look at what rights our beloved dogs really have, whilst inadvertently challenging what right we have to own them. What follows is a four-legged civil rights movement that would see dogs considered not as property but as non-human persons. America is asking a question resonating around the world - from Orangutan-personhood in Argentina to Octopuses reclassified as sentient in the U.K. - is it time we reconsider the nature of our relationship with animals?
In a quiet corner, far removed from big money, celebrity status and drug scandals lies the true value of sport. This is a film about friendship and purpose in masters athletics, a place where every five years, getting older means becoming the youngest. Younger follows a group of female athletes in their 60s, 70s and 80s over the course of a year as they prepare to compete in masters competitions. In these competitions, athletes compete in age groups that span five years, 60-64, 65-69 etc. When an athlete moves up an age group they are then the youngest, and this means they are more likely to win or break records. So, as they approach the top end of their classification, they look forward to being a year older and moving up to the next group where they will be the new kid on the block again. Dorothy, 85, loves the camaraderie of her gang (as she calls them). Joylyn, 69 hopes to keep going into her 80s and 90s. Sue, 69, says pole vaulting has helped her cope with cancer, twice. Noel, 74, loves the technical challenge of race walking. For all of them, training and competing in masters athletics is about being part of a supportive community, achieving personal goals and living a purposeful life full of adventures and fun. In doing so, these women show an energy, joyful determination, and fulfilment in older age, that offers a powerful antidote to lazy stereotypes around ageing.
