The Horse Whisperer

The Horse Whisperer is a short film about Jean François Pignon, captivated as a teenager by a white horse named Gazelle. In the film he recounts the unique bond he formed with Gazelle and how he began to develop an extraordinary ability to communicate with her. We learn of his brave response to the tragedy of her loss and how, through this adversity, he developed his work with other horses. As we witness Pignon's serenity and calm, we see that it is his state of being that allows the horses to trust him. (San Diego Film Festival)
