The Dog Who Stopped the War
War, peace, love and honor...in the world of children
Directed by André Melançon
Produced by Les Productions La Fête, Téléfilm Canada
A heartwarming family adventure about childhood competition and camaraderie set against a snowy Christmas backdrop, where a mock war becomes a vehicle for exploring friendship, honor, and growing up.
As the Christmas holidays begin, a group of 10 war-obsessed kids have a wave of inspiration: What if they spend the next two weeks engaged in a simulated war, armed only with shields, wooden swords, snowballs, and a fierce sense of competition? With a bounty chest waiting for the winners, the two sides gradually grow in size, and the war grows in importance, taking over all aspects of their lives.
