REACH AND APPEAL
Last year, over 55,000 horses were stolen in the US for the purpose of illegal slaughter and human consumption. It has become an estimated annual 100-million-dollar black market industry fueled by greed and cruelty. Many well-known animal advocacy organizations are steadily increasing awareness and fueling outcry against the practice. A film of this nature will be timely in terms of social consciousness, as well as shining additional light on a little-known but growing problem.
Stealing Broomtails is an inspirational Family Friendly Crime Thriller based on true events. It shows no harm or abuse being done to the horses, yet tackles such issues as animal cruelty, racism, bullying, loss, substance abuse, and Native American family dynamics. Its goal is to bring the illegal horse trade to light in a way that encourages outcry while proactively championing the human issues of those attempting to shut it down.
