This film
is a comprehensive look at one of the nation’s fastest
growing felony crimes. While Chicago
is the focus of this story, it is with the understanding that
Chicago represents what is happening in citihkves and towns
across the country and internationally.
Although this blood sport
has been around for centuries, the modern age has kept it in
the shadows. Without a thorough examination of why it takes

exponential numbers already emerging. “Out
of the Pit: Dog Fighting in Chicago” is intended as a
vehicle to bring this topic to public awareness.
This project is partially supported by a Community Arts
Assistance Program grant from the City of Chicago Department
of Cultural Affairs and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. |
