The timeless, unbreakable bond between a boy and his faithful dog, Kaleb, is put to the ultimate test in wartime Germany, in the heartwarming family drama, SHEPHERD: THE STORY OF A JEWISH DOG. After the Nuremberg Laws are enacted, Kaleb is separated from his family and adopted by an SS officer at a concentration camp where he is trained to round-up and stop Jewish prisoners from escaping. But when Kaleb’s former master, young Joshua (August Maturo), arrives at the camp, the dog rediscovers his unwavering loyalty. Together the pair attempts to escape the camp and begin the perilous journey to freedom. SHEPHERD: THE STORY OF A JEWISH DOG is based on the award-winning and bestselling novel, “The Jewish Dog,” by Asher Kravitz.
