But sooner she learns the white dog is an animal trained by a racist to attack black people.

She goes to the Noah Ark, a place where the Afro-American trainer of wild animals Keys (Paul Winfield) accepts the challenge despite the difficulties of his task. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;White Dogu0026quot; is among the most impressive films about racism ever made by the cinema history. The plot is very simple but touching and shows how cruel and intolerant a human being can be. The sick idea of using alcoholic or addicted black man to frequently beat up a puppy until it grows-up with hatred of black people is so despicable that it is hard to believe that it may happen. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI saw this film for the first time in the 80u0026#39;s and it has not aged. My vote is sight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;Cão Brancou0026quot; (u0026quot;White Dogu0026quot;)”
