Eye opening to mankinds destruction on the beautiful and essential earth around us. Also shows that although many people have became out of tune with the earth, the rest of nature hasn't.

There are only five stars? This film.....where are the words? They simply don't exist. Wild horses trying to save trees with more majesty by far than any human being. The horses proved their humanity far better than any there holding a chain saw or wearing a bright orange vest. If we don't learn to respect what is in nature, we WILL be forced to succumb to it. This film puts this fact beautifully into focus. The horses....oh the horses........

just one more example of man's greed and it's effect on the planet's animals, who are forced to share the space with mankind, through no fault of their own.

The undercurrents short film thats creating a story on the net
Check out Wild Horse of Newbury
http://www.supershorts.org.uk/view.html?id=512
I was at Newbury, filming the protests for undercurrents, and the evictions on a Hi8 Camcorder. Very early one february morning, I found myself in a field with over 500 security guards and police, they had surrounded a small copse and a couple of huge, old oak trees and were preparing to chop them down.
They had successfully outwitted the protesters. In the chaos accompanying the operation, some hedges and fences had been destroyed and these two horses were roaming virtually free. As the chainsaws started, they didnt run away as you'd expect, but towards the felling.. I just grabbed the camcorder and started filming, nothing was staged, the whole episode only lasted a few minutes, but had quite a profound effect on everyone there. Even the police were dumbfounded, especially by the 'confrontation' between the 'wild' horse and the police horse.
