External Reviews
“The documentary Dog Days chronicles an unlikely entrepreneur who squared off against the entrenched D.C. bureaucracy and lived to tell the tale…[it] offers no rose-colored solutions or third act surprises befitting a Hollywood production. Instead, it doubles down on the ordinary folk who work so hard to feed capital dwellers. The documentary treats them with the respect they richly deserve and gives them a long-overdue close-up.”
–Breitbart
“The documentary is as much about survival and finding your place in the world as it is about street food. It’s also hugely rewarding to watch.”
–Washington Post
“Dog Days shines when it spotlights the people behind the carts…In between the personal struggles of these street entrepreneurs, Dog Days delves into the political sausage making behind the city’s drawn-out attempts to regulate vending.”
–Forbes
“[Dog Days], which was produced in association with the Moving Picture Institute, tells the classic American tale of entrepreneurs struggling to get their businesses off the ground in the face of endless bureaucratic rules and regulations—which shouldn’t be a part of their story at all.”
–Institute for Justice
“It’s a beautiful homage to individuals who work harder than most of us, yet earn only a fraction of what they deserve and need. It’s the story of people going against all odds in order to survive, but to also help one another.”
–Naharnet
