THE NEW HISTORIC FILMS DOCUMENTARY
Dave Platts is a dealing man, a poacher by night and a countryman from a world that is rapidly disappearing. Fiercely independent, he openly detests the direction his country has chosen to take—a country he believes is abandoning his way of life and leaving his type of people behind.
Filmed across twenty-five extraordinary years, English Deerhounds: A Breed Apart tells the gripping story of the determined man who single-handedly recreated the majestic English Deerhound. It is a story of grit, clever thinking and an unwavering determination to succeed in an
ever-changing modern world for which Dave has little time.
“What has this country come to when people’s lives are dictated by screen time?”
Raw, provocative and deeply human, this is Dave’s story—and his determination to
leave a lasting legacy for the world to see.
DUE FOR RELEASE — EARLY 2027
