The Pack

Poland2022documentary52'

A story of a remarkable relationship between troublesome dogs from a shelter and inmates who take care of them. The prisoners are supposed to train the dogs so that they are fit for adoption. The stakes are high because if they fail, the dogs will be put down. Captain Tomek, who launched this programme, believes that the training may be beneficial for both sides. A group of inmates begin regular training sessions and gradually become attached to the animals. Rafał, twice convicted of murder, who takes care of one of the dogs, discovers a so-far unknown world – the world of emotions.

Tadeusz Chudy

Director, cinematographer and photographer. He studied philosophy and film studies at the Jagiellonian University and film and television image production and photography at the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School in Katowice, as well as at the Visual Narration Laboratory of the Łódź Film School. His goal is to make films and photography an experience for the viewer. He believes that from experience, understood as experience, an understanding of the “other” is born, and understanding leads to tolerance. He carries out long-term projects, delving into the slices of the world that interest him; time allows him to get to know people and spaces different from his everyday life. He encapsulates the experiences he has gained and the stories of the people he has met.
