Glenn Close made her directorial debut at this year’s GI Film Festival: a showcase of the successes and sacrifices of the American military through the medium of film.Premiering the movie she directed, “Pax,” Close shares the true story of an Army Sergeant who returns home from war with trauma inside and out yet heals thanks to a dog that has been trained through the Puppies Behind Bars program.
Close said she became interested in sharing the Army Sergeant’s story and telling more about Puppies Behind Bars after meeting a dog trained through this program on the set of her TV show “Damages.” Puppies Behind Bars encourages prison inmates to train dogs before releasing them to their new owners.
