Everything in the Song Is True (2016)
Traditions & Culture of the Wild West
The place of the cowboy in the modern world is diminishing, and it is great to see a film that documents some real life characters with true pedigree and history. There are great backstories and off the cuff anecdotes passed down from generation to generation, on show also is the interplay between modern life (eg. Starbucks) and the traditions and lifestyle of the cowboys and cultural activities associated with them. Hitherto unknown to me, but poetry and music play a big part in their lives and this is something that is parallel to what you find in most other cultures, people who live hard lives often develop the means to articulate and pass down the lessons they learn to their children and childrens children.
Overall a great way to spend an hour of your time, seeing some real life Americans still keeping the old ways alive!
