TAILS WITH TALES TO TELL!

The award-winning “The Stray Story: A Dogumentary”

is now available on major streaming platforms

Following a successful festival round, having screened in more than 25 international film festivals and having received 13 awards to date, “The Stray Story: A Dogumentary” by Christina, which screened in cinemas nationwide in Cyprus and was later approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth of Cyprus for screening in schools for all grades, is now available on major streaming platforms worldwide!

The documentary is an independent production about stray animals and volunteer work, filmed in five countries, and is the outcome of seven-year-long research and filming. It was produced by Blunatic Pictures, in collaboration with Crewhouse Media and FullMoon Productions, as well as through volunteer work, crowdfunding, the contribution of private sponsors and the valuable support of the Cultural Services and of the Ministry of Agriculture of Cyprus. Its main aim is to raise awareness about the causes and the solutions to the problem and to mobilize the public.

In a consumerist society where everything, including man’s best friend, is treated as disposable, everyday people aiding stray dogs remind us what being human(e) is all about. Volunteers from Cyprus, Greece, Romania and the United States open their homes and their hearts, becoming a voice for the 200 000 000 voiceless strays of the world and inspiring us to pitch in. Through their experiences, successes, difficulties and dilemmas, as well as through interviews with representatives of International Animal Welfare Organizations, the film exposes the problem and its solutions, while tackling the human condition in the western world.

The documentary is now more relevant than ever, with record numbers of animal abandonments occurring in several countries, partially as a consequence of the numerous pet purchases that took place during the pandemic, and their uncontrolled reproduction.

Alongside the production of the film, Blunatic Pictures has been raising awareness on the stray issue for several years, by creating short educational videos, organizing events, participating in school lectures and book presentations, and will continue to do so.
