Short film: The Pet Question

A short film from the third semester (class of 2023).

Journalist Emil Anders unwittingly writes an article that goes viral overnight. The simple question – which is the better pet: a cat or a dog? – divides the country. Extremists exploit the issue for their own ends, polarising society with hatred and incitement.
Can the spiral of violence still be stopped?
