External Reviews

“Heartbreaking stories of dogs being shot by police officers continue to make the news, while countless Youtube videos of incidents, Facebook memorial pages and petitions calling for justice for the lost lives of these four-legged family members continue to follow. Directors Michael Ozias and Patrick Reasonover have set out to tell their stories through…a feature-length documentary, Of Dogs and Men, that explores the lives and bonds of owners and dogs of all shapes and sizes, whose tales sadly ended in gunfire.”
–Care2.com

“[Producer] Reasonover began to notice the proliferation of online videos of police officers shooting dogs. ‘People were going nuts about it,’ he recalls. ‘There were tons of views on these things. We had dogs and we were disturbed, so we thought we’d reach out and start contacting some of the victims.’ In doing so, he quickly learned that the news reports and the published footage were only the beginning of the story. Because police departments don’t keep easily accessible records of dog shootings, it is hard to gauge the scale. A recent review of public records by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals concluded that almost half of all firearms discharges by police officers involve the shooting of a dog. But nobody really knows.”

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
