About this film
What it's about
George Hardy is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can't possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.

The Sheep Detectives — A Hidden Gem, But Act Fast
A shepherd reads detective novels to his sheep every night, never guessing they actually understand — until the day they have to solve a real farmyard mystery themselves. It is a witty and wholesome concept that works beautifully for ages 6 and up. Screenings are very limited this week (only 2 showtimes), so check listings right away if you want to catch it.
