Backtrack Boys (out Oct 25) is an Australian documentary about a program based in New South Wales where troubled kids help stay out of prison by working with dogs and building lifelong skills. I wasn't aware of this program previously and so the film is a huge eye-opener that will increase awareness and generate discussion. Grade: A-.
