It features some scenes from Charles Chauvel's, "Sons of Matthew". The correlation: what to do about the horses. This film should appeal to bushwalkers, conservationists and horse people alike. The documentary has the feel of being in the bush, sitting round the campfire, experiencing the danger of being close to wild horses, being with bushmen who are able to deal with these horses and the National Parks rangers. There is a great deal of empathy shown for the plight of the horses and their wild nature. These are horses that have never been near people and are quite desperate to escape.
