Centaur

Summary The Documentary Centaur uncovers the controversial issues surrounding wild horse round-ups and environmental management by the Bureau of Land Management. In the process of documenting this untold story, the director James Anaquad Kleinert is confronted by multinational corporations that are threatened by the exposure of their corrupt dealings with the Department of the Interior. James, staying true to his story and his relationship to a tribe of wild horses he befriends, takes this case all the way to federal court in Washington D.C. ultimately to win, setting precedent in the law for future wild horse and western public land issues. James discovers a unique undisturbed band of wild horses living in remote South Western Colorado. James films and forms a personal relationship with Traveler, a majestic band stallion and his family, creating an aesthetic and serene portrait of Traveler's band living in a profoundly beautiful wild natural setting. Oil and gas fracturing along with uranium and other "rare earth" mining is immanent in the area. The U.S. government's second largest form of income is from the leasing of our "Public Lands'. The enchanting setting is violently disturbed setting Anaquad on a profound journey. This is more than a story about wild horses. It is the story these horses tell us about ourselves, globalization and the ability of a storyteller to persevere despite being targeted by the most powerful government in the world.
