Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West (2022)

Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West (2022). Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West: Directed by Ashley Avis. With Ashley Avis, Josselyn Wolf. A sweeping, immersive journey into the world of wild horses that illuminates both the profound beauty and desperate plight they currently face in the Western United States.

“This is an exquisitely written, paced, and executed film, bringing the plight of wild mustangs on public lands into sharp relief, without overbearingly portraying the hidden physical and emotional toll these animals face on a regular basis. Avisu0026#39;s film is a perfect blend of science, history, and art, shining a bright light on the BLMu0026#39;s decades-long scapegoating of these horses and burros for corporate greed, and putting the story in a proper conservation context. In rightly humanizing the horses as families and individuals, this is the most impactful animal welfare documentary I have seen since My Octopus Teacher. I canu0026#39;t wait to see more from this director and production team.”
