DOG RUN is a British short film in which a man subjected to slave labour is given hope when he strikes up a special bond with a dog.

language
There is use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other moderate ('slag') and milder terms ('shit', 'bastard' and 'screw').
discrimination
The story centres on a group of vulnerable people who are exploited for their labour, and who are plied with alcohol to keep them compliant. In some scenes they are treated with disdain and cruelty by their employers, with some language having a racist and discriminatory edge (e.g. a man is referred to as 'Jungle Book'; a crude suggestion is made that a woman is soliciting sexual favours). However, such attitudes are implicitly condemned.
additional issues
An off-screen accident results in close-up sight of blood. A woman kicks a dog off-screen.
