Stray – Follow the lives of three dogs in the trailer for new documentary

Stray explores what it means to live as a being without status or security, following three strays as they embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society. Zeytin, fiercely independent, embarks on adventures through the city at night; Nazar, nurturing and protective, easily befriends the humans around her; while Kartal, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site, finds companions in the security guards who care for her. The strays’ disparate lives intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians with whom they share the streets.

Director Elizabeth Lo’s award-winning film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.

Magnolia Pictures will release STRAY in US cinemas and on demand on 5th March 2021.

Sunny saw the film at last year’s London Film Festival and said the film “leaves you yearning for more.” You can read his review here.
