Currently in postproduction, Roaming Wild is a feature length documentary that humanizes the growing controversy over wild horse management on public lands in the American West.
Wild horses survive taxing helicopter roundups, while a New Mexico cowboy invents safer ways to catch them in the harsh mountain winter. A fiery California activist rescues horses from slaughter, and a rancher contemplates his legacy in American culture. With a backdrop of stunning Western landscapes, Roaming Wild tells the story of perseverance to save a free-roaming way of life.
