A quote by the Native American author and educator Luther Standing Bear flashes onscreen at the beginning of “The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses.” The quote tells of an old Lakota man who “knew that man’s heart away from nature becomes hard,” that “lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans, too. So he kept his children close to nature’s softening influence.”
While the quote applies throughout Steven Latham and Conrad Stanley’s documentary, which looks at multiple angles of the modern plight of mustangs on America’s public lands, it fully resonates when the film explores how working with these animals helps veterans and active-duty service members. Pmc Vice Chairman Gerry Byrne is a consulting producer on the film.

When you see a documentary about a beautiful and breathtaking animal, and the film is built around that species facing a crisis of survival, the problem tends to be one of dwindling population. The bald eagle was once that creature (it’s now doing much better). More recently, there has been concern over the vastly diminished population of elephants in Africa.
“The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses” presents us with a different sort of conundrum. It’s a friendly, lyrical, and stirring documentary about the horses that still roam the Western wilds of the U.S. — a phenomenon a lot of people don’t even know about. David Philipps, the award-winning New York Times journalist, is interviewed in the film, and he says that when people ask him about his 2017 book “Wild Horse Country,” 90 percent of them are surprised to learn that wild horses still exist. That’s because these...

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the bad news that washes over us on a daily basis, which is one reason movies can be such an entertaining escape. Of course, movies can also educate and enlighten by casting an educated eye on elitist events. The annual Ted conference could be considered such an elitist event, which piqued my interest in The Future We Will Create: Inside the World of Ted, a documentary available for free viewing at SnagFilms.
Ted "stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design," according to the organization's official site. "It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become even broader." Big thinkers like Al Gore, Tony Robbins (?!) and Charles Fleischer (???!!!) speak in front of an audience that attends by invitation only -- and by paying thousands of dollars for an annual membership. Directed by Steven Latham and Daphne Zuniga,...
