Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West
Wild BeautY: MUSTANG SPIRIT OF THE WEST
An immersive journey into the world of wild horses, WILD BEAUTY illuminates both the profound beauty, and desperate plight currently faced by the wild horses in the Western United States.
Filmmaker Ashley Avis (Disney’s BLACK BEAUTY) and crew go on a multi-year expedition to uncover the truth in hopes to protect them, before wild horses disappear forever.
WBF hopes to raise a new, unprecedented awareness for the wild horses of today. If you would like to sponsor a screening, please email edward@winterstonepictures.com.
The award winning film will debut to the public in May 2023. Scroll down to read about 2022-2023 screening dates!
