This illuminating documentary traces the unlikely friendship between the Queen of England and Monty Roberts, a renegade California horse trainer who believes that “breaking a horse” is the last thing you want to do when working with this extraordinary creature. Fellow animal lover Queen Elizabeth, who feels the same way, helped him spread his nonviolent technique based on respect, kindness and trust across the world.

“The film thrives by virtue of its authenticity, sincerity, and the undeniable chemistry of its two central figures, but it also gives viewers more than a mere tale of unlikely friendship.” — Emily DuGranrut, Review Online
“Powerful, moving and enlightening.” — Sally Beddell Smith, Royals Extra
