An exquisite animal welfare documentary
This is an exquisitely written, paced, and executed film, bringing the plight of wild mustangs on public lands into sharp relief, without overbearingly portraying the hidden physical and emotional toll these animals face on a regular basis. Avis's film is a perfect blend of science, history, and art, shining a bright light on the BLM's decades-long scapegoating of these horses and burros for corporate greed, and putting the story in a proper conservation context. In rightly humanizing the horses as families and individuals, this is the most impactful animal welfare documentary I have seen since My Octopus Teacher. I can't wait to see more from this director and production team.
