PRODUCTION
We've traveled across the nation to over sixteen states to film wild and domestic horses and burros, and some of America’s most pristine sweeping landscapes. We captured and documented what has since become known as one of the most ruthless BLM round ups in history.
We have had the honor of conducting some of the most riveting interviews with nationally renowned veterinarians, trainers, stakeholders, enforcement leaders, attorneys, professors, investigators, policymakers, humane association professionals and horse people.
SYNOPSIS
SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES: A Nation Betrayed is a powerful feature documentary film with a deeply passionate look into the world of both wild and domestic horses; their connection to our history and the future of humanity. It’s an intelligent and hard hitting exposé that reveals how the public has been misled by government agencies and corporate interests that run over the laws that are supposed to protect the public, the horses and the environment.
