TURN & BURN: INSIDE THE WORLD OF BARREL RACING

David Wittkower (US, 2006, 67 min)
Documentary, Western

 

In the rodeo world, Barrel Racing is the second most anticipated event behind bull riding. In the U.S., it’s arguably the most popular women’s sport – that rare event where mostly women compete in a blend of beauty and grace, speed and control, horse and rider. Award-winning filmmaker David Wittkower (Cowboy Up: Inside the Extreme World of Bull Riding), goes behind the scenes and beyond the fame to meet the women who are deeply committed to a sport where milliseconds separate the winner from the losers. Much of the Turn & Burn research and footage was recorded at the Ellensburg Rodeo.
