Buck (2011)
Buck Brannaman is a horse trainer like none you've ever seen. A trick roper as a child and an advisor on the Robert Redford film, The Horse Whisperer, he is an incredible hand on a ranch and his skill with horses is uncanny. Any of the traditional ideas of breaking horses with violence never cross his mind but, with a gentle hand and a genuine respect for our equine friends, he can get even the toughest specimens to do nearly anything he wants. From director Cindy Meehl, Buck follows Brannaman across the highways of America as he puts on training clinics, not to show off his skills, but to educate horse owners and enthusiasts on how they can do the same (or at least an approximation of it). It is a lovely, heartfelt documentary about one man's rise from a terrible situation to create a good life for himself and help others along the way.
