WILD
HORSES GALLOP INTO GRANGEVILLE
What does a farrier, film maker, Doctor and a CEO of a youth enrichment
program have in common? They are all involved with bringing the film,
Wild Horses in Winds of Change to the big screen. The film will
be shown at The Blue Fox Theater April 13 at 7:00 p.m. and April 16th
at 1:00 p.m.
It all started when Idaho author, farrier and trainer Karina Lewis
walked her wild mustang ShoGun up the steps of the Department of the
Interior in Washington, DC. She was there with her mustang to meet with
government officials to propose management options for the BLM after her
work with wild horses caught the eye of then BLM director Henri Bisson
and Interior secretary, Don Glenn. The moment was caught on film and
the clip made into the hands of award winning film producer Mara LeGrand.
Wild Horses in Winds of Change is her documentary
of wild horses
and burros that are being rounded up from their free roaming life on the
range. With close to forty thousand wild horses and burros languishing
in long term warehousing, the time for solutions is critical. Experts
in the field challenge the current management system and the
non-scientific myths and biased views about the wild horse.
Despite the current crises for the horses, this film is a journey of
beauty into the meaningful presence of America’s mustangs on the earth
and in our lives. Tensions run high for their future
A recent Library
Journal review refers to the film as “Beautifully rendered and very
persuasive.” Western Watershed says, “This film is extraordinary. A
must see.”
Wild Horses in
Winds of Change was selected
for its world premiere in Hollywood at the Egyptian Theatre that
officially launched a series of showings to packed houses and rave
reviews. The film was chosen as the opening film for “Buck” at Robert
Redford’s Sundance Film Festival and voted Best Documentary.
“Originally I
started filming mustang adoption stories.” Says Mara LeGrand. But as I
filmed much more than what I expected developed and what I learned is
that this story is really about all of us.”
Indeed. In a
spirit of working together Karina and Mara agreed to support the film
being brought to The Blue Fox Theater in Grangeville and have agreed to
benefit a portion of the proceeds to Idaho’s own COLT Youth Enrichment
Program based in Kamiah.
