A Cowhand’s Song

©1981 — 29 minutes

 

This evocative documentary contrasts the traditional lifestyle of family cattle ranchers with their sense of disenfranchisement from American society. With its graceful images and emphasis on community, family, and continuity, A Cowhand’s Song makes a strong case for the preservation of a traditional way of life.
