White Fang, the film adaptation of Jack London’s masterpiece which has been translated into over 90 languages, is an adventure that has thrilled entire generations. Directed by Alexandre Espigares, the animated story features a half-wolf half-dog. The wolf is a proud and courageous creature, and for this reason it will fall victim to man’s cruelty. After growing up in the snowy, wonderful but hostile lands of the Great North, it is welcomed by Gray Beaver and his Native American tribe. Here the animal is protected by the tribe, but will have to be accepted by other dogs. Unfortunately, Gray Beaver will be forced to surrender White Fang to a cruel man, who will force him to transform himself into a fighting dog. This is a story of redemption, and above all, of the extraordinary strength of love that binds an animal inextricably to man.
