A film that celebrates the human animal-bond.

 

The Hardest Day is an unprecedented film that explores the intimacy of the human-animal bond and the last moments between. A meditation on love, loss and the intersection, the film also offers a profound insight into the veterinarians and support staff who help along the way.

We’re excited to announce that our film has been accepted into the PBS platform and will be available for streaming on the PBS app in the spring. Stay tuned for more information on dates!

About
