Each year, tens of millions of dogs are farmed or stolen, and then killed for food throughout Asia. This increasingly stigmatized trade has become a flashpoint in South Korea, where some believe the custom originated, and where cultural and generational shifts have drawn entrenched battle lines. Touching and action packed, DOG WARRIORS follows a team of war-hardened, canine-loving combat veterans fighting to stop the dog meat trade in South Korea. Surveilling and infiltrating hidden meat farms and markets, they risk it all to save as many dogs as possible. While highlighting issues of cultural difference and social change, DOG WARRIORS reveals questions about animal rights vs. human livelihood, heroism vs. vigilantism, and the breach of contract with man's best friend.

Missy G @Missygirl Mar 5 I was afraid to see the final cut of this to be honest, but was pleasantly surprised and glad I did. The film takes a deep dive into a world only a few, brave handful of folks know; animal rescue. In hostile territory no less. I learned alot about the wretched asian dog meat trade without being sickened with graphic imagery. Theres none of that. Youll follow in the footsteps of two military veterans from america walking the walk and bringing home Jessie, the beautiful spaniel. What a delightful ending to a trek that is not an easy one. Enjoyed this immensely. See more Read all reviews
