Underdog (2021)
You don't know Doug Butler, but you'll wish you did after watching
Doug Butler is a force of nature with a good heart and an indefatigable positive attitude. "Underdog" follows Doug on his long path attempting to make it to a dog sledding race in Alaska as he faces the daily challenges of running a family farm in Vermont, without any sugar coating.
You'll learn as much about the rigors of running a small family farm as you will about developing a dog sled team - on a shoestring budget.
Doug seems to be constantly in motion, so much so that I doubt that Tommy Hyde, who made the film, could keep up with him or get him to sit down long enough to talk about his situation, which works to our advantage, I think, as we see Doug being Doug which tells us what we need to know.
Very interesting and heart warming with a sharp edge of reality. Well worth watching.
