"An unsentimental elegy to the American West, Sweetgrass follows the last modern-day cowboys to lead their flocks of sheep up into Montana's breathtaking and often dangerous Absaroka-Beartooth mountains for summer pasture. This astonishingly beautiful film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, and vulnerability and violence are all intimately meshed"--Container.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very good submitted by jibkidder on June 26, 2022, 9:50pm documentary about the disappearing art of sheepherding! For a pretty slow and light-handed movie this is shockingly captivating!
