Alison Sawyer Current is a Canadian woman who spends her days pulling stray dogs off the streets of Mexico, one animal at a time, against a problem that runs into the hundreds of thousands. The film follows her decade of work: trapping and feeding strays, clashing with local officials who would rather ignore the problem, organizing spay and neuter clinics to slow the population, and placing dogs she has saved into homes. It raises the question her critics ask directly, why spend money and years on dogs when people are struggling, and lets her answer with what she has actually built, an operation now known as Isla Animals. The camera stays close to the everyday grind of rescue work rather than a single dramatic case, showing what it takes to keep an operation like this running year after year on one person's persistence.
