“The Cowboy and the Queen” is an award-winning documentary chronicling the life of Monty Roberts, a renegade horse trainer whose non-violent techniques never would have seen the light of day if it weren’t for an extraordinary endorsement and friendship with the late monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. With uncanny similarities in their understanding and love for animals, this unexpected pair broadcast Monty’s work to the world, eventually translating this gentle work to humans as well.
