Robert Redford, Bruce Springsteen team up for documentary ‘The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses’

Actor Robert Redford and rock legend Bruce Springsteen are teaming up for the documentary The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses, which will tell the story about America’s wild horses from their turbulent history to their uncertain future.

The feature-length documentary takes audiences on an odyssey throughout America to places that few people have seen, with more than 80,000 wild horses on public lands and more than 50,000 in government corrals.

The documentary will be released theatrically on October 15, followed by a TVOD (transactional video on demand) release.

Redford is an executive producer, and Springsteen contributes to the film’s soundtrack, which also features music from Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris, and the original song Never Gonna Tame You, performed by Blanco Brown and written by 12-time Oscar-nominated songwriter Diane Warren, who also serves as a co-producer on the film.

Redford said: “America’s wild horses are fighting their last stand. Increasing competition for our natural resources threatens our wilderness areas, our wild horses and other wildlife species. Horses are interwoven into the very fabric of what is America. What threatens them threatens us all.” — IANS
