"The Rider" is a film about rodeo riders on a South Dakota reservation and the trials of trauma.
The film is so heavily fact-based that it almost qualifies as a documentary, but it’s also recognized for how the style of the production uses light and landscape to create beautiful cinematic poetry.
It features an Indigenous American and a hyper-masculine culture, as depicted by a young female filmmaker from China. One of her key assets in making the film was the discovery of Brady Jandreau, who plays the film’s main character. One electrifying scene is when Brady is in a corral with a rancher and a wild horse that the man says has never been ridden. Brady offers to train the horse and proceeds to do just that--watching him is breathtaking.
Following the film, there will be a panel discussion on the experiences portrayed in the film and how they relate to our own lives with horses. Panelists include Claire Antoszewski, Physician Assistant and horsewoman; Ginger Gaffney and Leela Brightenburg, Legacy Horse Training; and, Erin Calhoun, Pas de Cheval Horse Rescue.
The film runs about one hour and 45 minutes. Tickets are on sale starting September 1. They are $20 general admission or $18 for NNMHA or CCA members. One night only. This is a benefit for CCA.
