Episode 283: Caroline Heer & Katherine Boucher of the Women in the Wilderness Film
If you’ve ever encountered wild horses in person, you know it’s an unforgettable and magical experience. These majestic creatures roam freely across America, but with no natural predators, their increasing numbers have sparked controversy. In response, three fearless female cowboys set out to create the film Women in the Wilderness. They document their journey, from riding alongside these wild horses to engaging with ranchers, revealing the complex challenges surrounding these animals. How can we cherish wild horses while responsibly managing the land? What’s it like to create a film with no prior experience? And what do wild horses symbolize for the U.S. and the people of the West? We cover all these questions and more in today’s episode.
“You think cowboys, you think boys club. There are so many tough women out there doing the work. It’s not about gender, but who can get the job done. If you can keep up, you’re in. ”
