In the shadow of the brutal 20-year conflic t in Northern Uganda, The Comfort Dog Project pairs survivors of the Lord& rsquo\;s Resistance Army who are suffering severe PTSD with rescued and ab andoned dogs. The film highlights their transformative bond as both the su rvivors of the conflict and their dogs heal together.

We meet Lucy and her dog Sadik, one of the program&rsquo\;s first graduates\; Francis a nd his rescued guard dog Tommy\; and Jennifer who credits her dog Ogen wit h saving her life. Interwoven with expert insight from human-animal bond r esearcher Meg Daley Olmert, the film explores how oxytocin, the &ldquo\;tr ust hormone,&rdquo\; plays a key role in this unique path to healing.

A deeply moving exploration of trauma, recovery and the power of connec tion, The Comfort Dogs of Uganda is a visual testament to the resilience o f the human spirit and the extraordinary role dogs can \;play in helpi ng us find our way back to life.
