Set against the brutal backdrop of the Sinai-Palestine campaigns in WWI, this powerful story reveals the unbreakable bond between soldiers and their horses, trusted companions that offered comfort, courage, and connection in the face of unrelenting war. Through stunning visuals, raw interviews, and immersive reenactments, the film brings to life the emotional journey of men who found strength in their steeds.
But when peace arrived, a cruel twist — strict quarantine laws — forced many to leave their loyal partners behind. Heart-wrenching and deeply human, this is a timely reflection on the scars of war and the battles soldiers continue to fight long after returning home.
Q&As Director Edward Sampson and Producer Terry Kingi at Bridgeway Cinema (Auckland), The Capitol Cinema (Auckland), and The Roxy Cinema (Wellington). Terry Kingi only at Lumiere Cinemas in Christchurch.
The horses will be present at Bridgeway Cinema, The Roxy Cinema, and Lumiere Cinemas.
