Documentary Description
Off the Chain is an unprecedented look into the underground world of
dog fighting. Beginning with a history of the American Pit Bull
Terrier, the film explores the evolution of the breed. Classic film and
television footage show the popularity of what was once considered a
noble and trustworthy family pet. Examine how this breed went from
America’s dog to public enemy number one.
Travel to the back alleys and dark corners of the inner city to
expose the truth behind the breed’s new status in pop culture; an urban
symbol for violence, aggression and gang-life. The first documentary of
it’s kind; director Bobby J. Brown spent three years infiltrating the
underground subculture of pit-bull fighting. Gaining the trust of well
established dog men, they allowed him to film behind their dangerous
veil of secrecy.
