Doc/Fest Presents: The Dog 18
Brooklyn, August 22, 1972. Determined to secure gender re-assignment surgery for his lover, John Wojtowicz decides to hold up a bank. The chaotic afternoon that ensued was famously depicted by Al Pacino in the classic Dog Day Afternoon. Ten years in the making, directors Alison Berg and Frank Keraudren take us through Wojtowicz's unorthodox life, guided in large part by Wojtowicz himself in the months before he died of cancer.
