HUDSY celebrates the incredibly diverse voices, culture and spirit of the Hudson Valley through the power of film and storytelling on the first streaming video app for the region, HUDSY TV.
ABOUT THE FILM: After a motorcycle accident shatters her world, Linda Neu finds a wellspring of strength in her deep and abiding love of horses. Medical teams are able to save her life, but not her leg – and Linda must navigate an untrodden path as she relearns to walk and finds new footing with the support of family, friends, and a high-tech prosthetic. Through it all, one goal sustains her: the pure joy of getting back on a horse. It's a different kind of ride – one of survival, new beginnings, and never giving up.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER: Tracy Christian, a documentary filmmaker, launched her career with Street Journeys-which follows children who make a transformative leap from Nairobi's streets to the stage at a performing arts orphanage-was described by Rolling Stone's Peter Travers as “An exhilarating documentary that speaks to the nurturing power of art…prepare to be wowed.” It aired on the Documentary Channel. Tracy’s latest, The Ride, follows Linda, whose love of horses helps her heal after a tragic accident. She creates films and curates events for clients including Visa/GZERO Media, Robin Hood Foundation, and Omega Institute. Education: BFA, drama, NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
