DFF #2 “LIFE WITH DOGS” Program Descriptions
[There is no nudity, sexual reference, vulgar language or physical or verbal abuse between people - and no animals were harmed - in these films. Any tears you might shed would be tears of joy for happy endings. The films can be watched by all members of the family, but are intended for adult audiences - with sophisticated ideas and subtle themes. The programs are best for more mature children who may be accustomed to “foreign-type” films.]
