Buck movie scene

The life of Buck Brannaman, a bona fide horse whisperer, is chronicled in Buck.

The Audience Award winner at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, documentary movie Buck unveils the real-life story of Buck Brannaman, a bona fide American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine months a year helping horses with people problems.

The first film directed by Cindy Meehl, Buck chronicles the life of Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A true “horse whisperer,” he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Possessing what has been described as “magical abilities,” Brannaman dramatically transforms horses – and people – with understanding, compassion and respect.

Brannaman was the prime inspiration for the hero of Nicholas Evans’ novel The Horse Whisperer, not to mention the 1998 movie adaptation by Robert Redford (The Conspirator), who pops up as a talking head in Buck.

The PG-13 film enjoyed a limited release to U.S. theaters this summer, where it grossed $4 million.
