American Mustang the movie

 

American Mustang the movie, watch the trailer

"In an artful blend of exquisite nature documentary and character-driven narrative, the majestic wild horses of the American West are revealed as never before in stereoscopic 3D. The wonder in a girl’s eye pulls us into the drama that unfolds on hundreds of millions of acres of public land. Battle lines have long been carved into the landscape, and the players are deeply entrenched. Yet, as the subtle choreography that has evolved over thousands of years begins, we are captivated. The intricate dance between a man and a wild horse presents lessons for us all, even the battle-hardened special interest groups fighting for the place of the American mustang."

“Narrated by actress and activist, Daryl Hannah, American Mustang is, in turns, sweeping and intimate; a visually stunning love song and call to action.”
