Four young men agree to undertake a 6+ month journey riding formerly wild mustangs from Mexico to Canada. If you enjoy adventure documentaries, this has a lot to offer. The story is unique. The cinematography is excellent, with beautiful shots of the remote Western US.The editing choices created a compelling narrative and allowed glimpse into how this crucible affected the humans involved, for better and worse.My only nit is I wanted to hear a bit more post-journey recap to understand how the four friends saw themselves and each other after the fact.

Actually, as one reviewer on this site has already noted, I developed an uneasy feeling as this documentary progressed, as I felt in some ways it was actually negating the cause it was espousing. As I understood it, the stated purpose of this film was mainly to illustrate how wild horses, called mustangs, could be trained and perform various functions even better than domesticated ones.Four young men, all recent graduates of Texas A.& M. University, are about to embark on a 3,000 mile trek, across 5 states, from the Arizona- Mexican border to the Montana-Canadian border. They will be utilizing 13 mustangs that they've adopted from the Bureau of Land Management Adoption Center, and that have been trained over the past 4 months to be able to make this journey.Along the way however, we'll witness injuries to 2 of the horses, one death, several spookings of the mustangs (with one involving a 40 mile chase) to recover them, an extremely treacherous ride along the rim of the Grand Canyon (which might be better suited to Bighorn sheep), and travel through land filled with cacti, whose thorns became embedded in the horses' coats for days. Call me crazy, but how does this help the cause to adopt mustangs?There are presentations from the BLM, from ranchers, and activists about what can be done about controlling the mustang population on public land. However, with our do-nothing and politically correct Congress, there doesn't appear to be any compromise in sight on this issue.All in all, at least the cinematography was spectacular, and I admired the youthful grit and daring of these four young men, but this was more of a road trip movie, in my opinion, than a convincing film for its stated cause.

Challenge set...challenge met for all but one ?? Didn't understand Jonny's decision to bail at the final mile. Made him look childish, impetuous and a little vindictive. Loved the concept and the commitment and was rooting for the guys all the way. Not an easy journey. This movie shows not only the strength and determination of these 4 men but of the horses as well. I knew there was an issue between the wild mustangs and the ranchers but was unaware of the roundup and the grand herd of 50,000 wild horses being penned and waiting on adoption. I'm foreseeing euthanasia being used in the future to control the growing population. Makes me livid. Oh..and where is Ben Masters in the cast credits...HELLO!

Beautifully made documentary, with stunning scenery. Not many people will understand the trust it takes for a mustang to let a human sit on his back..so that alone is incredible. I loved the music, the scenery, the friendship, the scary crazy trails and the mustangs!! A movie everyone will enjoy, you don't have to be a horse lover to like it. It is not one sided and talks to various people about the plight of the mustang. I could watch this over and over and I hope they release the score to the movie. It makes you want to get out into the wilderness, the footage from the Grand Canyon is absolutely breath taking. The Cowboy Val is so like able and the donkey Donquita steals the show!! Thank you for letting us come along on this wonderful adventure.
