The Zandland team spent months getting inside the UK’s most secretive dog fighting gangs. This resulted in a revelatory documentary that uncovered for the first time how gangs were using dog fights to settle disputes.
Inside Britain’s Dog Fighting Gangs
Up and down the country, dogs are being forced to fight. Often to the death.

"The number of reported incidents has increased by over a third in just three years. With nearly 2000 reports since 2020".
The underground nature of dog fighting is what makes it so difficult to investigate. We wanted to find out who the people were that were doing this.
“This is one of the most upsetting, difficult films I have made so far in my career, but I’m really proud of it. With tricky access to a hidden and underground world, it’s an intimate look at the motivations of the men and women involved in this growing crime and explores for the first time how dog fighting is being used by gangs to settle disagreements on the street.”
