NEW YORK — First Look Media’s streaming service, Topic, announced yesterday the documentary Eli: A Dog in Prison will premiere exclusively on Topic on August 26.
Produced and directed by Jason B. Kohl and Nora Mandray of Mako Films, the documentary follows three prisoners who form an unlikely bond as they struggle to transform a rambunctious but loveable Labrador puppy called Eli into a highly disciplined guide dog in 12 months, “all while charting their own uncertain path to rehabilitation in the broken American prison system,” reads a synopsis of the film.

“With exclusive TV series and films that take you to more than 40 countries, Topic showcases an unparalleled diversity of creators, perspectives, and experiences. We prioritize bold storytelling, champion underrepresented voices, and believe that entertainment should expand your view of the world,” reads the release.
