In this episode of the True Story Podcast, Ivona Remundová speaks with director Robert Lakatos about his thought-provoking and darkly humorous documentary Whose Dog Am I?. The film is a sharp political satire exploring nationalism, identity, and power—told through the unexpected lens of dog breeding.
Lakatos takes us on a journey through a world where politics and ideology seep into the seemingly innocent realm of purebred dogs, exposing how the desire for purity in breeding echoes troubling nationalist narratives. In conversation with Remundová, he discusses the creative and ethical challenges of crafting an ironic yet deeply political film, the difficulties of securing funding for a project that critiques propaganda, and the fine balance between humor and serious social commentary.
How do politics shape even the most unexpected aspects of our daily lives? Can satire help us see reality more clearly? Join us for an insightful discussion on a film Variety has hailed as “a new breed of social satire.
