Synopsis
Based on a novel by writer and humanist Romain Gary, Chien Blanc tells the story of how he and his wife, the actress and civil rights activist Jean Seberg, welcome an abandoned dog into their home. They don’t at first realise that it has been trained to attack black people. Set amid the social tensions in the aftermath of the assassination of Martin Luther King, the film delivers some harsh truths about racial equality in the United States.
