I just really wanted to share this documentary movie by the name of "Buck", it's actually about the guy who Robert Redford based his character in "The Horse Whisperer" on. I can't remember the guy who wrote the book, however he spent a LOT of time with him as well, and the character is a piece of Buck.
The documentary goes into what kind of start he had in life and it's such a great testiment to how horrible things happen to children and people can still come out on the otherside and be ok. He grew up in a very abusive alcoholic home and there is some 12 step sounding things he says, so I did wonder how he healed in such great ways.
It's on netflix and is in the documentary side of things. It was released 2011 and received a lot of acclaim. Great saturday night movie though.
Hugs P :)

I will look it up. I like Beth Moore bible studies for woman and she also talks about coming from a highly dysfunctional past and says some Al-anon sounding things, that makes me like her even more! Thanks for the movie idea.
