Kingdom of the Horse
KINGDOM OF THE HORSE offers an intimate portrait of disruptors on a mission to save unwanted horses, and they’re succeeding in creative, unconventional and sometimes controversial ways.
Over the course of ten episodes, we meet the saviors, healers, cowboys and capitalists, who battle the overwhelming force of bad circumstance with imperfect solutions. While the good they do is indisputable, these folks often receive as much criticism from their communities as they do praise. That’s because they’re the outliers, quiet rebels if you will, challenging worn-out ideas and failing institutions – both public and private - with bold actions that work differently. These are all amazing individuals fueled by passion and committed to the belief that doing something is better than doing nothing.
