THE MUSTANG – Robert Redford produced this film which screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Starring one of my favorites, Matthias Schoenaerts, and featuring Bruce Dern, the film is a fictional story based on a real inmate rehabilitation program available at certain prisons in the west. Wild mustangs are captured, tamed by prisoners and sold at auction to the US Border Patrol. As horses and humans both learn to live within prison walls, bonding with these animals teaches inmates patience, kindness and understanding which they will one day take with them to the outside world. Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 0.
