Following a catastrophic train derailment, the residents of a small rural community in East Palestine, Ohio, navigate an uncertain path to recovery.

The Bulldogs is the first feature-length documentary from Columbus filmmakers Noah Dixon and Ori Segev (2021’s Poser). The film had its World Premiere at the 2026 Slamdance Film Festival and Columbus Premiere at the 2026 Cinema Columbus Film Festival.
