Morning Star: The Rise of a Migrant Mother, a Mustang Colt and The Valor of Life
  Documentary Feature (USA)

Directors Kimberly Carlisle, Kathryn Lauritzen

This feature-length documentary film parallels the journeys of a migrant mother from El Salvador and a Mustang colt rounded up off Western public lands against the backdrop of the harrowing paths to freedom that both found their way through, until they meet at a ranch in northern California. We explore the impact of trauma resulting from the separation of families and other abuses at the hands of the U.S. government to the individuals, families and our society. Whether human or horse, the wounds are deep, the perpetuation of violence is shared, and the keys to recovery are similar. Through her ordeal, Veronica, the migrant mother, becomes a champion of immigrants' rights. The film takes a hard look at the issues, asks how we got here, explores solutions that we might create from a premise of respect and value for all life, and ends on a note of hope.
