A documentary/western, the film follows Filipe Leite, an aspiring journalist who leaves his adoptive home of Canada on an epic quest to ride from Calgary to his family's home in Brazil -- and later beyond -- entirely on horseback. Inspired by Aimé Tschiffely's 1925 equestrian journey, Filipe's 8 year odyssey of over 25,000 kms across 12 international borders, sees the young immigrant battle intense heat, drought, speeding transport trucks, nature's wrath and corrupt border guards on his history-making long ride home.

3.5/5
An inspirational and moving story. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 06/24/2022
Often dispirited and in tears, and joyous and loving his [Filipe Masetti Leite] choice, it’s a maelstrom of extreme obstacles, pain, joy, and mystery, as they wind their way down south. Go to Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times 06/21/2022
2.5/5
While the intent here is occasionally inspiring and certainly well-intended, the execution mostly misses its desired mark. Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Original Cin 06/20/2022

A film experience that reminds us of the lure of solitude, of traveling in the most painstaking way, dependant on the bonds between human and horse. It’s a look back at a lost way of life, and a testament to accomplishing the near-impossible. Go to Full Review Evan Dossey Midwest Film Journal 06/06/2022
