At Concord Farm, a minimum-security facility in Massachusetts, these inmates learn to take on the responsibility of a puppy and find in themselves not only a sense of confidence but also a capacity for nurturing and affection. The experience is profound as they become empowered by their role as trainers.<div><br /></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><div>"Prison Pups is an engaging documentary that portrays the benefits of this program for both inmates and NEADS clients. The first person interviews make it clear that prison life is hard, but that the program enhances not only the life of the disabled, but enriches the lives of the prisoners as well. As the prisoners interact with and talk about "their" dogs, and with the NEADS staff and clients, they seem not only humane, but more human, in contrast to typical media presentations. <i>Prison Pups</i> is highly recommended for junior high through adult level audiences."&nbsp;</div><div>— Pamela White, MLS, Health Science Libraries, University of Rochester</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>"<i>Prison Pups</i>, like other Dungan Bouvrie films, explores its subject matter from a cultural perspective, while using a method of filming which Dungan Bouvrie describes as "ethnographic." This technique is based on the filmmaker spending extended periods of time with each film's subjects, while keeping a discreetly low profile and respectful demeanor.&nbsp;</div><div>— Lesley Today, Lesley University</div></div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div><hr><br /></div><div><b>SELECTED SCREENINGS & AWARDS</b></div><div><div style="">Regent Theater, Arlington, MA, 2008</div><div style="">Breckenridge Film Fest, Breckenridge, CO, 2007</div><div style="">Museum of Our National Heritage, Lexington, MA, 2007</div><div style="">Somerville Community Access TV (SCAT), 2007</div><div style="">Plymouth Independent Film Festival, MA, 2007</div></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/bouvrie-alice-dungan-c749all.aspx">Bouvrie, Alice Dungan</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
