Bruce Weber is a professed animal lover and this film centres on his own dogs a family of gorgeous golden retrievers including True. A Letter To True is a stunning look at the affection loyalty and unconditional love displayed by these animals - which the filmmaker sees as a metaphor for peace and hope in the world.
