Can America become a no-kill nation? The new documentary Redemption explores the people and ideas behind the no-kill revolution in the United States, answering that question with a resounding “yes.”

Redemption will have its Michigan premiere at the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance’s 2014 Getting to the Goal Conference on Thursday, Sept. 4, in Troy, MI.

In addition to the film and presentation, there is a companion book for the film that profiles the communities and activists in the film, the No Kill philosophy, the film’s transcript, what you can do, and much more.

This material will be exclusively available to those who come see the film and presentation.

Redemption is based on the book of the same name, and author and No Kill Advocacy Center Director Nathan Winograd will be a featured presenter at the conference, along with other leading experts in sheltering and shelter medicine.

The full line-up of speakers can be viewed here.

Attendees at the MPFA Awards Banquet, recognizing the top-performing shelters in the state, will be able to view the film at no additional cost.

Individual tickets for the movie only are also available.
