Glitter and Dust: A documentary about girls bucking gender norms and forging their own paths to participate in the male-dominated world of rodeos.
*Film is only available to U.S. audiences
Who says a rodeo is for men only? Four girls prove that they feel perfectly comfortable in the saddle, just as well as their male friends do. Even though they diverge on everything from cultural background to motivation, they share a common passion that dominates their lives. They watch competitions, visit stud farms and incessantly practise their skills, supervised by their male tutors. Cheered on by their families, they fight against prejudice and achieve success. Yet the rodeo will not become every girl's vocation.
