"One of the most heartwarming and moving films in years, BUCK is the true and inspiring story of Buck Brannaman, the real-life Horse Whisperer who inspired the Robert Redford film of the same name. A gentle man, Buck travels the country teaching people not how to âbreakâ horses but how to respond to and work with them, how to partner with them rather than dominate them with fear. A child star of sorts, Buck was brutally beaten by his father and learned first-hand how panic and dominance is no way to gain loyalty. A story of personal redemption, a gripping drama about dealing with wounded souls (both owners and animals) and a magical look at one manâs gift for bonding with the wild, this film by first-time director Cindy Meehl is one of the most crowd-pleasing and talked about movies of the year and a Cinderella story in its own right." - Baker & Taylor
Explores the life and career of real life "horse-whisperer" Buck Brannaman. - Mpi Media Group
Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will. So says Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping horses with people problems. BUCK, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real-life "horse-whisperer", he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses - and people - with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, BUCK is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.
