Stray - bittersweet documentary about the stray dogs of Istanbul

Since 2004, Turkey implemented a humane no-kill, no-capture policy towards all its stray animals. Over 100k dogs call the streets of Istanbul home. Stray shows daily life through their eyes as they roam the streets, in search of food and kind strangers. Filmed between 2017 and 2019, Stray is a calming and thought-provocative journey that pauses but doesn’t prod the sociopolitical scenes that are true not only for Istanbul but the world at large.
