'Unbridled'
(Eric Roberts, T.C. Stallings, Téa Mckay, Jenn Gotzon Chandler, Dey Young, et al / DVD + Digital / PG-13 / 2019 / Mill Creek Entertainment)

Overview: Based on true to life stories at Equine Assisted Therapy centers including Corral Riding Center in North Carolina, 'Unbridled' tells a tremendous story of redemption and triumph, with a message of unconditional love; with teenage girls overcoming formidable obstacles and living a fulfilling life in spite of adverse circumstances.

DVD Verdict: Sarah is a 16-year-old girl who is abused, emotionally abandoned and written off as just another hopeless causality of this world.

Her mother's boyfriend, Roger, secretly involves Sarah in a sex traffic ring, and her mother, Karen, unsure of what to do, is afraid to stand up for her.

Sarah thinks she is beyond redemption and unworthy of love and is sent away from the house that defined her horrors to a place where she is not the only victim, or the only one fighting to get her life back, a ranch called Unbridled.

At Unbridled, Sarah meets Dreamer, a horse who has also suffered abuse, a horse who no longer trusts humans. That is, until he meets his girl, Sarah.

Together, Sarah and Dreamer walk a difficult road and learn that family doesn't just happen, it's made with hard work.

They face many hardships and overcome terrifying obstacles, but in the end, Sarah experiences redemption and learns that love is the most powerful thing on Earth.

Together, they all learn to live Unbridled.

Based largely on the real life ministry of Corral Riding Academy that admits about 20 challenged teens per year and has about 500 volunteers and staff mentoring the 'herd' girls for restoration and redemption, 'Unbridled' is one of those glorious, yet ultimately sappy movies that will, without a shadow of a doubt, have your heart strings pulled.

Word has it that in the first week of the filming of 'Unbridled' in Raleigh, North Carolina, there was an ice storm that rendered a normal 10-minute drive into a 2-hour drive for some of the cast and crew!

And in the middle of the filming at the Edelweiss Farm in North Raleigh, North Carolina, there was a tornado headed toward the 'Unbridled' set!

So, if all the cast and crew and horses made it through on time and in perfect health, watching this should be a doddle for us mere viewers! And it is, although, as mentioned, you'll need hankies placed close by for some of the latter scenes! This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
