This documentary chronicles a critical segment of the life of bisexual bank robber John Wojtowicz who inspired the classic 1975 movie, Dog Day Afternoon. Three years earlier he had held up a bank in order to finance his male lover's sex change operation. Al Pacino would later famously portray his nationally televized 14-hour standoff. Take a closer look at an extraordinary ten-year period of this lover, husband, soldier, and activist. See the highly unusual lifestyle that led Woljtowicz to that fateful afternoon in August that would earn him the nickname "The Dog."
