SWEETGRASS [DVD]

An unsentimental elegy to the American West, Sweetgrass follows the last modern-day cowboys to lead their flocks of sheep up into Montana’s breathtaking and often dangerous Absaroka-Beartooth mountains for summer pasture. This astonishingly beautiful yet unsparing film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, vulnerability and violence are all intimately meshed. SPECIAL FEATURES • New Digital Restoration • Directors’ Commentary by Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor • Additional Scenes (57 minutes)
