The documentary “The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses” has begun airing on PBS stations.
The film traces the story of America’s wild horses from their turbulent history to their uncertain future. It features Return to Freedom’s sanctuary and others working to help wild horses in different ways.
An estimated 73,500 wild horses and burros live on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, with more than 63,000 horses and burros captured in roundups now warehoused in off-range government holding facilities.
Robert Redford, Patti Scialfa Springsteen and Jessica Springsteen executive produced the film, which features songs by Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson as well as an original song written by Diane Warren performed by Blanco Brown.
