Through this cinematically stunning, immersive experience that leads the viewer through what it is like to be out on the range, or literally amongst a herd of galloping horses, this innovative footage of mustangs—eliciting their joys, families, hardships and plight—will take your breath away. Filmmaker Ashley Avis and crew went on a multi-year expedition to uncover the truth about the fate of our wild horses before they disappear forever.

Included in your ticket purchase is access to our exclusive talk and Q&A session with filmmaker Ashley Avis and Scott Beckstead of Animal Wellness Action.

Starting at 4 pm, there will be a special Wild Beauty and Black Beauty poster signing by the filmmaker herself in the foyer, with doors opening at 4:30pm. A half-hour discussion with Ashley Avis and Scott Beckstead will immediately follow beginning around 6:30 pm. Ashley and Scott will talk and answer questions about issues facing horses today in the United States.
