“White Fang” is based on Jack London’s classic novel of the same name, which is an adventure-filled tale set during the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s. It follows White Fang, a wolf dog who was injured and abandoned who ends up dog-fighting in Fort Yukon. He develops a friendship with two humans who treat him with kindness and respect.

Producers on the film are Clément Calvet, Jérémie Fajner, Lilian Eche, Christel Henon, Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf. Superprod, Bidibul Productions and Big Beach’s “White Fang” is also a French/Luxembourg/USA co-production.
