The opening shots in John Zaritsky's documentary "The Wild Horse Redemption", are from a helicopter, looking down on hundreds if not thousands of wild mustangs running free in the high desert foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. A voice over informs us that there is in excess of 33,000 wild mustangs roaming the plains of America's West, mainly in Nevada, Utah and Oregon. These herds of wild mustangs are under the protection of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), whose task is to keep the numbers of mustangs under control, but also to ensure they are not hunted down, mainly for use as horse meat. At one Federal Prison, they have a scheme that gives those inmates who choose to do so, the opportunity to 'tame' one of these mustangs, hence the film's title. It should be noted that these men are in prison for committing serious crimes, such as murder, armed robbery, or drug-related offences. Most are serving long sentences. Most have been in jail before - some will end up back behind bars. This terrific documentary traces the endeavours of a few inmates who try their hand at 'taming' a wild mustang - or to be more correct, feral horses. For those of us who think that most criminals are beyond redemption, "The Wild Horse Redemption" proves otherwise. Full marks to the authorities of this prison, who look beyond the crime, and see a man who truly seeks redemption.
