Dark Horse (2016)

We had no idea what this was when we walked in. Could’ve been animated, could’ve been horror -- seriously no idea. The very first image on scren was of horses running in a field with a voice over saying something like “we were a small community…” and I worriedly leaned over to Nathan and whispered “Oh no! We're at a talking animals movie!”

Thankfully, it wound up being a documentary about the racehorse Dream Alliance and the group of working class Welsh that came together to foot the bill for his breeding, training, and medical bills. I could’ve used some subtitles, but other than that it was about as heartwarming as could be.
