This is an extraordinary film, at once heartbreaking and uplifting. I wept several times as I watched, not just out of compassion for the discarded horses and discarded men who share the screen, but in happy wonder over the sweet, redemptive communion that has formed between them. I have rarely been so moved and fascinated by a documentary. Everyone should see this film." - Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit

Our society warehouses convicts, often in subhuman living conditions. On a parallel track, the world of thoroughbred racing routinely sends over-the-hill horses to the slaughterhouse. A deeply affecting cinematic experience, Homestretch chronicles the pairing of inmates and rescued end-of-career racehorses, as they come together on prison farms to care for and save each other.
