“Brent Hodge and Ben Sisto approach their subjects seriously and layout a fascinatingly tangled web. In doing so, they’ve crafted a riveting must-watch. ”
“The most important film of our lifetime,…as fundamental as the first cry of a child entering this world, a clarion call that declares we are here, we are alive, we want to know where the dogs went and just who was responsible for their escape.”
Who really came up with that song you can never get out of your head?
Who Let the Dogs Out You thought the answer to the question was obvious, right? The Baha Men. In fact, the origin story of the smash hit is murkier than anyone could imagine. When artist and curator Ben Sisto embarks upon an obsessive eight-year quest in search of the answer, he uncovers a deep well of controversy and legal battles. His pursuit of the truth is relentless, and the result is an engrossing and entertaining meditation on copyright and originality in art.
