London animal advocates gear up for Beyond the Myth. A powerful and emotionally charged film that aims to educate the public as well as underscore the ineffectiveness and harmful impact of breed specific laws. Libby Sherrill, the filmmaker and former producer for Home and Garden Television (HGTV), first decided to tackle the film as a grad student at the University of Tennessee. Three years later, her theme has been honed to reveal the perils of breed-specific legislation as carried out in three cities that ban pit bull-type dogs: Denver, Miami, and Cincinnati along with San Francisco, which requires the animals to be spayed and neutered. Denver enforces their ban more stringently than most, killing more than 4000 pit bull-type dogs since 1989.
