Fun Facts: The film doesn’t have ‘no animals were harmed in the making of this film” tag in the end credits because the four bison were really slaughtered for hide.

 

The film doesn’t have English at all, instead, it is an unknown language with English subs.

 

The breed of the dog in the film is called a Czechoslovakian wolfdog.

 

Like many films, Alpha was filmed in Canada.

 

Summary: In the prehistoric times, the hunt goes wrong, causing the boy to be separated from his family and must befriend the wolf in order to get home.

 

The Review: Alpha is beautifully filmed and a great way to demonstrate a boy and his dog.
