A Conversation with Tom McPhee
Many of us watched in horror – from a safe distance – the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Tom McPhee was there. He witnessed the tragedy that befell those who called the Gulf Coast home. Including the animals. Especially the dogs and cats who were suddenly not only homeless … but helpless. Filmmaker McPhee has created a powerful statement about that time – about the heroes and villains who were there and who walk among us. Join us in a conversation with Tom. And when An American Opera: The Greatest Pet Rescue Ever! comes to your city or town, see it. And remember … it could happen again.

Recorded live at Woofstock 2009 in Richmond VA.

What is Woofstock?

Woofstock is the Richmond Animal League’s fundraising festival to build awareness for the homeless pet population. Their mission of saving lives by providing hope, help, and homes for animals in need. RAL’s goal is to be the leader in providing homeless animals with temporary housing, medical treatment, sterilization, and quality care until they are adopted to permanent, loving homes. They are committed to the no-kill doctrine and promoted it through educational programs that teach the importance of spay/neuter, responsible pet ownership, and compassion for companion animals. Special thanks to everyone who took time to speak with us both on and off the air, including Dick Samuels, publisher of Family Dog Digest.
