Run time: 88 min. | U.S.A. | color

A living legend in the horse world, Buck Brannaman was the inspiration for The Horse Whisperer. For this true cowboy, horses are a mirror of the human soul. Reared by an abusive father, Buck eschews violence. By teaching people to communicate with horses through instinct, not punishment, he frees the spirit of the horse and its human comrade. Crisscrossing the world with Zenlike wisdom, Buck promulgates grace in the bond between man and horse. The animal-human relationship becomes a perfect metaphor for meeting the challenges of daily life, whether they consist of raising kids, running a business, or finding your flow with a dance partner.
What is extraordinary about Buck Brannaman, the man, leaps off the screen in this strikingly cinematic film by first-time director Cindy Meehl. Part guru, part psychologist, the adult Buck, who was once a beaten kid, has now beaten the odds. Buck Brannaman could transform your troubled horse. Buck the movie may transform your soul.

Rated 5.0/5 Stars my rating click to rate 1 2 3 4 5 steve.holbrook 4:44 PM		My favorite film of the festival so far. It took me by surprise---I was a volunteer usher at the Sundance Screening room and didn't really have a desire to see the film---but it was great. A very moving film about overcoming life's adversities, and approaching all living things with kindness and understanding.
