This is a part of the film portraits about photographers who have decided to show the world how wild horses live in the wild. These women don’t hesitate to take their cameras and go to the Great Basin, one of the few remaining untamed areas of the United States to find the free-roaming wild horse and capture images of them and the way the live. They are determined to display the majesty and beauty of these amazing animals as well as the harsh conditions in which they live.
Watching the video we come to understand what it means to live in the extremes and how well these amazing creatures face the harsh conditions of the area. Besides finding it hard to survive in those untamed territories the horses are also facing a fierce land battle. The ranching industry demands more land for cattle and oil producers plot to extend massive pipelines across the country and the lives of these animals hang in the balance. These horses are literally experiencing a war and they are fighting for their survival and these courageous women photographers are in its trenches.
They show how horses are chased by helicopters and herded into captivity, how foals are ripped away from their mothers, how stallions are stabbed with stun guns and they are determined to go on showing both the timeless beauty of horses living in the wild and the current tragedy unfolding as they are being driven to extinction.
