'Buck' The Movie Coming to Australian Cinemas

 Another great horse movie is starting in Australian cinemas, this time it's 'Buck' the documentary film, about legendary trainer Buck Brannaman, which won the Audience Award for a Documentary at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. 'Buck' commences in cinemas on 16 February

“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 gruelling 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.
