The documentary film, “Pure Grit,” follows a young champion as she competes in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of horse relay racing. It’s more than a movie about competition; With visuals of both breakneck action and quiet, kitchen table confessions, it delves into the personal successes and setbacks of rider Sharmaine Weed and her family on the Wind River Reservation. This is an encore show so we will not be taking callers live on the air.
Guests:
Sharmaine Weed (Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone nations) – bareback horse relay rider; subject of the film “Pure Grit”
Kim Bartley – film maker and director for the documentary ‘Pure Grit”
Daryl R. Begay (Diné) – executive producer for ‘Pure Grit’
Break 1 music: Biioo pahna (Healing Song) (song) Judy Trejo (artist) Circle Dance Songs of the Paiute and Shoshone (song)
Break 2 music: Victory Song (song) All Lead Singers Home Of The Champions (artist) Home of the Champions (album)
Great interviews. I can’t eat to see the documentary. It is beautiful and wild country – the Wind River.
