What happens

Cowboys: A Documentary Portrait is a 2019 documentary film directed by Bud Force and John Langmore. The feature-length movie gives viewers a glimpse into the lives of modern working cowboys on America's largest and most remote cattle ranches - some of which are over one million acres and still require full crews of horseback mounted men and women to tend large herds of cattle. Narrated through first-hand accounts from the cowboys themselves, the story explores the rewards and hardships of a celebrated but misunderstood way of life, including the challenges that lie ahead for the cowboys critical to providing the world's supply of beef. The film premiered at the Austin Film Festival October 25, 2019 and won the Audience Choice Award. Cowboys also screened at numerous other theatrical events throughout 2019 and was released worldwide on November 17, 2020 by distributor ro*co films, where it received positive reviews from both national and international audiences.
