Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Wayne Ewing is well known for his tv documentaries & independent films, including four about Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
Ewing picks up the mantle Hunter left with his unfinished novel “Polo is My Life” to make an unusual autobiographical series ( 11 episodes x 25 mins ) that metaphorically combines Ewing’s quixotic effort to train wild horses to play polo with scenes from his many films.
Inspired by working with Hunter Thompson on his unfinished book “Polo is My Life”...
the filmmaker Wayne Ewing begins a quest to train two wild horses to play polo. He finds the horses in western Colorado where forty years earlier he chased wild horses for his film “Cowboys” (1974). Scenes from “Cowboys” and Ewing’s other films intercut with the polo story. Training wild horses turns out to be more difficult and dangerous than Ewing imagined.
