He is an inspiration, not only in his communication, understanding and compassion with horses but also in how he overcame the unbelievable adversity of his abusive childhood. The connection between man and horse is a large focus of the film, but it is also about sensitivity and respect for every living being. Buck\u2019s poetic grace is felt throughout, and it is remarkable to see how truly gifted he is and what an extraordinary life he has created.
