Summary of Running Free

RUNNING FREE is the adventurous inspiring story of a remarkable friendship between a boy and an abandoned young colt named Lucky. In an African mining town an orphaned servant boy raises a young horse who is destined for a life of hard labor. Together they find the strength to stand up to the cruel plantation owner and his mean-spirited thoroughbred Caesar; fleeing the destruction of the escalating war they chase after the freedom they deserve. Narrated by Lukas Haas (Witness Mars Attacks!) and starring Jan Decleir (Character Antonia's Line) Arie Verveen (The Thin Red Line) as well as Chase Moore and Maria Geelbooi in their big-screen debuts RUNNING FREE is a visually stunning unforgettable tale about the triumph of the human - and equestrian - spirit.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?G UPC:?043396041691 Manufacturer No:?04169
Set in northern Africa at the beginning of World War I, this unusual movie is narrated by a horse, voiced by Lukas Haas (Witness). While the gambit works for the most part, let's face it, some sentences ("I had to find my place in the world") just sound silly coming from equine lips. Lucky, as he will be called, is born on an African-bound ship but is separated from his mother when the horses swim for shore and the new colt simply can't keep up. While mom and the rest of the gang are to work in the mines, Lucky is discovered by a young orphan who works as a stable hand. The mother-son pair are briefly reunited, but the stable's stallion, Caesar, fatally injures her. The high-born Caesar also prevents his own foal, Beauty, from seeing Lucky and eventually forces the colt out on his own. The dour indignities heaped upon this horse, including a heart-wrenching parting with the boy, last for about an hour of this 78-minute movie before events begin to shift and Lucky is able to live up to his name. Although the movie is rated G, horse death, graphic fighting, and cruelty toward the boy might be overwhelming to young or sensitive children. For mature schoolchildren and older kids. --Kimberly Heinrichs
