    Told in the cinematic tradition of classic westerns, “Cowboys: Documentary Portrait” is a feature-length film that gives viewers the opportunity to ride alongside modern working cowboys on some of America’s largest and most remote cattle ranches. The movie documents the lives of the men and women working on these “big outfit” ranches — some of which are over one million acres — and still require full crews of horseback mounted workers to tend large herds of cattle.

    Narrated through first-hand accounts from the cowboys themselves, the story is steeped in authenticity and explores the rewards and hardships of a celebrated but misunderstood way of life, including the challenges that lie ahead for the cowboys critical to providing the world’s supply of beef.

    “Cowboys” was filmed on eight of the nation’s largest cattle ranches across ten states in the American West, including right here in Arizona.

In 2000, she published and wrote the book, “Gathering Remnants – a Tribute to The Working Cowboy.” and currently serves as the associate publisher of “Big Life Magazine” in Ketchum, Idaho.

    “Cowboys: A Documentary Portrait” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Aug. 20-25. Showtimes will be 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20, 21 and 22; and 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 24 and 25.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
