About This Event
CARE invites you to an evening screening of Brown & Bonded: Against the Odds, an ensemble documentary that follows People of Color as they fight to keep the animals they love in a system that too often treats them as risks to manage instead of families to support. The film moves from America's feel-good image of pet ownership to a painful contradiction: shelters overflow and euthanize for lack of space, while devoted would-be adopters are turned away again and again. In the final stretch, families who have been rejected elsewhere find ways to "get to the yes."
"These individuals may be elderly, home insecure, or not fit the traditional Hollywood hero image. But the animals being rescued, fed, and healed know help comes in different shapes and sizes. My enduring hope is that we learn to be as humane as our pets."
James Evans, Director
Food by Black Dragon, plus popcorn, vegan cupcakes, chocolate-covered fruit, and candy. Pet adoption opportunities and information from New Leash on Life, PAWS, and Emancipet
