Editor’s Note: High Plains Films, the Missoula-based non-profit documentary shop responsible for such films as Libby, Montana and Brave New West is offering a film clip each week here on our pages. This week, High Plains Films is showcasing the second of a series of clips from the one-hour their one-hour documentary, El Caballo: The Wild Horses of North America.
In this clip, Dan Flores, professor of history at the University of Montana, talks about the the concept of wild horses as a native species to North America. Before working on the film, we really knew very little about the subject, but once we were involved we found it a fascinating story of evolution, history, ecology and environmental policy. The film is edited by Dru Carr. It is directed and produced by Doug Hawes-Davis. The original score by Ned Mudd, most of which is available for free download at www.highplainsfilms.org.
