"We
are honored to have Dr. Friedlander on the board of advisers for this important
film," says Katia Louise, Filmmaker and President of the Wild for Life Foundation.
"Dr. Friedlander is also a speaker in the film and recently appeared as a panel speaker at the film's showing at the AMC Kansas City International Film Festival."
SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is an enlightening social experience rich in the history of how we as a society exist and share our world with other species that we respect and rely upon to survive. When we look at how we treat our horses we discover more about ourselves. This film is a brilliant and hard hitting exposé that reveals how the public has been misled by government agencies and corporate interests that run over the laws that are supposed to protect the horses, the public and the environment.
SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is receiving rave reviews and has won multiple international awards, through the film festival circuit, but timing is pivotal for America’s horses; their very survival is at stake. That's why it's crucial to get SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES released this year.
