New DVD: Buck
October 10, 2011
We recently added Buck to the DBRL collection. The film played at the 2011 True False Film Fest and currently has a rating of 88% from critics at Rotten Tomatoes. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
A richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Buck Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real-life ‘horse-whisperer’, he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses, and people, with his understanding, compassion and respect.

I got to see this film at T/F, and as an audience member said, this is not only an excellent film about horsemanship, but it also provides a great model for parenting. A touching, beautiful film.
