The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses

Film screening and panel discussion presented by
Northern New Mexico Horsemen’s Association in benefit of The Horse Shelter
in partnership with the Equus Film Festival
June 29, 7pm  -  Santa Fe Playhouse, 132 E. DeVargas, Santa Fe, NM

"The Mustangs: America's Wild Horses" takes audiences on an odyssey throughout America to places few people have seen or even know about. There are more than 80,000 wild horses on our federal lands and more than 50,000 in government corrals.

"The Mustangs: America's Wild Horses" is a feature documentary that is executive produced by Robert Redford, Patti Scialfa Springsteen and Jessica Springsteen.

The film features songs by Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson and an original song written by Diane Warren and performed by Blanco Brown.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Philipps says, "The wild horse is so ingrained in the American imagination that even for those who have never seen one know what it stands for: fierce independence, unbridled freedom, the bedrock ideals of the nation. From car ads to high school mascots, the wild horse - popularly known as the mustang - is the enduring icon of America. But in modern times it has become entangled in controversy and bureaucracy, and now its future is in question."

There will be a panel discussion following the screening.

Tickets are $20 ($15 for students with IDs) and may be booked online through the Santa Fe Playhouse.
