Yes, there are cowboys in Florida. Real live roping and riding cowboys. And they have been on the scene for over 250 years. In fact, Florida vies with Texas as the number one cattle-producing state in the USA. Filmed over a course of three years, we soon realized that the life of the Florida cowboy was changing, disappearing before our very eyes. The explosion of land values has forecast an end to large scale ranching and a major loss of wilderness in Florida. This film captures the beauty of the old ways, many of which have not changed in hundreds of years, with the drama of encroaching civilization. It’s a beautiful and important film documenting America in the throes of change.

* Appropriate for family

I downrated this film because I disliked the heavy-handed lecture at the end of the film. The film started out as an homage, with a right turn to deliver an anti-development theme. I am completely sympathetic with the message, but the filmmaker failed by not finding the voices among the cowboys and others to make the case. There are elements here to turn this project into a superlative and compelling story, but this version falls short.
