“Saving America’s Horses A Nation Betrayed” presents a focused look into the unseen world of both wild and domestic equines. It’s an intelligent and inspiring exposé about today's horses and the need to protect and preserve them. “Saving America’s Horses” explores scientific evidence about the indigenous roots of the horse as a species and the challenges they face in today’s world. This film brings to surface the lax oversight and enforcement of protective laws for both wilds and domestics.  It uncovers layers of documented evidence drawing a sharp contrast to the misleading propaganda that portrays these majestic animals as “excess, unwanted and destructive pests”.

See the powerful OFFICIAL TRAILER for SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED on the official film Website, at IMDB and at YouTube.

In Defense of Animals (IDA), applauds the selection of “Saving America’s Horses – A Nation Betrayed” by the Los Angeles Women’s International Film Festival.
