Film Talk with Mike Day, Director of COWBOY POETS

Moderation: Malte Borgmann


COWBOY POETS, UK, US 2022, Mike Day


Cowboys and poetry? Every year in Nevada, these two seemingly
incongruous things come together. The poets recount their unique
way of life, their connection to nature and their identity. In
their everyday lives they grapple with environmental threats and
you can sense a political rift. Songs and poems glide over
impressive images. A documentary western about a lyrical cowboy
lifestyle.
