'Buck': the Story of the Real Life Horse Whisperer

A stunning documentary has been made about Buck Brannaman, the real-life "horse whisperer" who inspired the novel and the 1998 Robert Redford film.

Winner of the documentary audience award at this year's Sundance Film Festival, "Buck" introduces us to the lifelong cowboy who helps trainers and riders of all levels learn to work more patiently and effectively with their horses. His philosophy is that you can't break a horse in a violent way. Rather, he believes that a human and a horse should coexist instinctively, and that an animal can be a reflection of one's soul.
