How Documentary Films Can Change Lives
Mustang Moments is a documentary about the Wild Horse Inmate Program at the Arizona State Prison. Supervisor and Pastor Randy Helm and the Arizona State Prison created a program where wild mustangs are teamed up with inmates to gentle and train, resulting in a win-win for both the horse and the inmate. The inmates gain a positive work ethic, self-esteem, pride, patience and a trade that can be used upon release. The mustangs learn to trust and connect with humans. After training, mustangs are adopted to loving homes.
The recidivism rate for inmates that have participated in the wild horse program is less than 5%, far below the nationwide rate of 50%-80% within five years. World-renowned horse trainer Lanny Leach is developing an academy that creates an opportunity to learn new skills for a finished horse with a good foundation and techniques for growing a horse training business. The Mustangs of America Foundation is providing scholarships for parolees that wish to start their own business or work in the equine industry.
The primary objective of Mustang Moments is to encourage positive prison reform and create a body of work of photography and a documentary film featuring the inmates working with the horses and interviews of how their lives are changed. We will document inmates being released and follow their new lives. We will also film several inmates that have already been released and show their success with their own horse businesses. We intend to make a feature length film to share the many inspiring stories of how the lives of these inmates and horses are changed forever.
