Die Hunde-Mafia: How to kill a puppy & get rich | 6-PART DOCUMENTARY SERIES | BY Timon Modersohn
In the investigative documentary “Die Hunde-Mafia: How to Kill a Puppy & Get Rich”, ProSieben and Joyn are breaking new ground in storytelling. Here, journalistic investigation meets the immediacy of social media. With far-reaching consequences. In the documentary, animal welfare campaigner Nathan Goldblat battles the cruel system of dog killing stations in Romania. Whilst researching in the country and gathering evidence against “The Dog Mafia”, he simultaneously invites well-known influencers and public figures to accompany him on the ground, to use their reach and to speak out for the dogs together. Hannes Jaenicke, Bianca Heinicke (13.6 million followers), Malte Zierden (2.9 million), Jonas Ems (7.9 million), Andrea Sawatzki, Nika Sofie (4.2 million), Laura Joelle (2.3 million), Otto Bulletproof (1.2 million), Phia Quantius (800,000). A total of 26 public figures respond to Nathan’s call. The Creator Alliance mobilises its followers. Clips of their joint dog rescues and campaigns go viral and attract widespread public attention. Nathan Goldblat alone garners more than 70 million views with his posts against dog culling – with consequences. Even whilst filming is still underway, the first animal culling stations in Romania are closed due to pressure from social media and clear evidence. The practice of dog culling is being publicly debated across the country. The Vice-President of the European Parliament signs an eight-point plan from the #NeuteringNotKilling initiative, and politicians are addressing the issue. ProSieben and Joyn show how this came about in “Die Hunde-Mafia: How to Kill a Puppy & Get Rich” – produced by Film Five.
