Filmmaker Ashley Avis and the crew go on a multi-year expedition to uncover the truth in hopes of protecting them before wild horses disappear forever.

“I was absolutely stunned,” Director Avis said, “that as a horse person in my youth, I had no idea that wild horses were being rounded up by helicopters, torn away from their families, and locked away into government holding facilities, some never to gallop again. Diving headfirst into the issue, I came to realize the Bureau of Land Management was prioritizing special interest groups such as tax-subsidized livestock grazing, oil, and mining — over preserving the ecological balance of our Western public lands. They were knowingly eradicating federally protected wild horses and native species such as wolves and mountain lions — using methods that were deeply antiquated and cruel. How could this possibly be happening?”
