Film & Discussion: Documentary: "Buck" January 24, 2013

Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping horses with people problems. A real-life "horse-whisperer"!

This acclaimed 2011 90-minute documentary is a richly textured and visually stunning film, following Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, Buck is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.
