“This might be an image that will reach out and pull people into the story no matter who they are whether they are major ranchers or animal rights activists. Doesn’t matter who you are. It’s an intriguing image it will pull you into this.”
Wild adds the film really captures the sounds and sights of cattle, farmers, auctioneers, and horses. It gives you an idea of the lifestyle of farm families.
“It’s extraordinary because it’s taking you into a way of life of these farm families that at roundup time and that happens right across the nation at fall so that is exciting, dramatic, and familiar.”
