In an ancient forbidden Kingdom in the Himalaya, magnificent horsemen and their horses face almost certain demise. Bordering Tibet, Mustang is home to one of the world’s last great equine cultures. Maverick riders compete in death-defying races as their rich cultural heritage and spiritual bond with horses is tested in the face of rapid globalization. This award winning documentary turns a lens to the planet's last great horse culture -  "takes us not only to the top of the world but blows the tops of our heads off once we get there - the Shangri-La of horsedom".
