Michelle K @MSKcf Aug 5, 2026 Fantastic film! Every family and junior high class should watch this! See more Mark M @RT42720816 Feb 25, 2025 In an era with so much negativity, the story of triumph over violence is so uplifting. See more Susie H @RT38676369 Feb 20, 2025 As a horse owner, this documentary was enlightening, entertaining and inspiring. I was literally brought to tears several times. Cannot recommend enough how wonderful it was. I thought I knew about Monty Roberts and his training methods, which are superb, but the story of his life and his friendship with Queen Elizabeth, as well as his work with Veterans suffering from PTSD, was new information for me. Monty has lived a tough but amazing life.

There are breathtaking moments of beauty as Monty works and bonds with horses -- efforts that capture the attention of a likeminded and compassionate Queen Elizabeth. "On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe out injustice, but the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine."

The best way to reach them both is to pay attention and to be respectful. This film can teach us a lot about connecting with each other. I grieve at the sight of traditional horse - "breaking" methods, and I celebrate Monty Roberts's way of training horses and helping soldiers and first responders find a way back from trauma. Monty's background as an abused child informs him deeply. Bravo.
