A richly textured and visually stunning film, following “horse whisperer” Buck Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. Buck 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.
