The Rider

Drama/Western, United States 2018

Not available in your country
After a near-fatal rodeo accident, young cowboy Brady Blackburn must come to terms with the fact that he will never be able to ride again and falls into an existential identity crisis: After all, not only his environment, but above all he himself as a Sioux descendant defines him primarily through his work with horses. The disparaging look of his father, the farewell to his disappointed fans and the lack of the unique feeling of freedom that flows through him on the back of a horse weigh heavily on him.
