Los Angeles, May 4, 2013, There’s nothing stronger than Willie Nelson's love of horses, and this legendary singer and songwriter, who is also a speaker in the movie, SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES; A NATION BETRAYED, is helping to launch WFLF’s movie poster fund raiser to help bring the message of this important film to more people.

 I'm a little prejudiced when it comes to horses. I have always loved them,” says Willie. “When horse accepted man onto his back and chose to carry his burdens, it changed the world.”

People identify with horses the world over and with the social and political climate of the times, the urgency to widen the audience for SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES; A NATION BETRAYED has never been greater.

“The film is the mouthpiece for America’s wild and domestic horses and burros,” says filmmaker Katia Louise. “It speaks on behalf of equine welfare for all breeds and all disciplines.”

The Willie Nelson autographed movie poster will be auctioned off on EBay beginning May 16th to help raise awareness and launch this fund raiser. 100% of the proceeds from the posters will go to SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES!

SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES; A NATION BETRAYED unites the largest collaborative initiative and consortium of the most notable and leading equine experts including scientists, researchers, investigators, veterinarians, trainers, breeders, jockeys, equine welfare experts, policymakers and celebrities and sheds light on the political, scientific, and legal implications of the current international equine issues.

The 91 minute feature documentary has won multiple awards in the festival circuit including Best Documentary Film in Los Angeles and Best Environmental Film in Canada. SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES also qualified for Oscar consideration through a Bi Coastal Theatrical Release in December, 2012, which garnered high-profile reviews and press coverage for the cause.
