"WILD HORSES & RENEGADES" - OPENING NIGHT FILM & LA PREMIERE!

WILD HORSES & RENEGADES - Director: James Kleinert

"This is not just a film about wild horses; it is a film about what is happening to our planet at the hands of corporate greed". Michael Blake, author of Dances With Wolves.

Wild Horses & Renegades features Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Viggo Mortensen, Raoul Trujillo, Daryl Hannah, Dances with Wolves author Michael Blake, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, U.S. Congressmen Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), and Pulitzer Prize winning author Scott N. Momaday.

There is nothing more symbolic of the freedoms of America than the wild horses that make their home in the wide open spaces of the West. Under 'federal management', these horses and their pristine environment are being devastated due to corporate interests in mineral extraction and cattle grazing.

Both an animal advocacy and an environmental protection issue, the debate on the failed management of American western federal lands, and the underlying role of corporations, has become a growing national embarrassment.

With stunning vistas and interviews with notable contributors, "Wild Horses & Renegades" brings to light the people fighting to save these animals and our environment from extinction.
