To me, this movie is perfection.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

What the puck is wrong with this people? the part when group was near a mountain, they decided to run over the mountain, not go around it. One of the horses felt and hurt himself, his name was Luke i think. I hope they never repeat it again.Please save mustangs.

Told in complete chronological order, this trail ride is a 16x9 presentation of our mass-population's ignorance, and a very small portion of the rest of us who will get off of our half-moons and participate in a solution.Its not a popular solution, it may not even BE a solution, but it is a trip on the way to MANAGEMENT. Like the trail ride, the experience of the trip creates its own progress. No one should expect a silver bullet bringing the problem of over-grazing by horses to a close in 30 days. It just will not happen. Maintaining a balance by a long-term management of resources, curtailing herd sizes, rehabilitation of some horses into markets needing pleasure riding or breaking horses for the experience, they all come together to MANAGE.If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. If any one component of the solution is criticized, the critic becomes the problem.

** spoiler alert ***I found it disturbing some of the places that they road the horses. To purposely ride thru the cactus and to push the horses up such steep, rocky terrain is wrong. The riders I know would not have placed the animals in these bad situations. To watch the horse fall down the rocky slope they pushed him up was very sad and wrong. Horses died. They didn't seem too upset by the deaths. Wild horses or not, I don't think that they took proper care of the animals. I do not believe that both sides of the wild horse issues were shown. The population of wild horses continues to grow. I believe that our public lands are being mismanaged. This movie was a little one sided. On a positive note, there was some beautiful scenery.

Stunningly gorgeous (ergo all the stars) and I, too, felt deflated, actually more like cheated, when Johnny dropped out. It struck me as a cruel gesture mired in far deeper issues than concerns for a grandfather. The act in fact is haunting when I consider that the guy had to be concocting his plan for quite some time - and sharing it with none of the people to whom he is entrusting his safety - and who have trusted their safety in him. Looking for a job? Johnny, I would leave this film off the resume. But what a testament to the surprises that can surface in documentary film making. Congratulations to the creators who serve up so much to think about - not to overlook the extraordinary visuals .
