Filled with moving rescue stories. Starting four weeks after the evacuation for hurricane Katrina, hundreds of brave and passionate volunteers attempt to rescue the estimated 10,000 to 20,000 animals left behind before they starve to death. A lot of things in this movie were very unpleasant to watch: grisly images of dead and decaying animals, along with gruesome images of dogs injured in dog fights and animals who suffered violence at the hands of humans. But it was a fascinating story. And the good news is that laws have now been passed to ensure that animals are included in FEMA emergency evacuation plans in the future.
