Mine (documentary film) and Pet Adoptions

Join us at the Riverviews Artspace downtown at 2:00 for the showing of Mine. A documentary film dealing with the custody battles over the Katrina Pets. $5 suggested donation. We will have adoptable dogs out for the matinee showing. Also being shown on Tuesday the 16th at 7:30 at Riverviews Artspace.

In response to Hurricane Katrina, thousands of pets needed to be transported around the country and adopted even when their displaced guardians still desperately wanted them. Meanwhile, many adoptive guardians have forged strong bonds with their new pets.
When two families love the same pet, conflicts inevitably arise over who is the rightful "owner" and what is right for the animal.
A tragedy of this scale reveals the worst and brings out the best in humankind and presents an opportunity for us to bring about meaningful social change. MINE is a compelling, character-driven story that challenges us see the way we treat animals in our society as a reflection of how we treat ourselves -- and each other.
