Black Rodeo

About This Movie

So, Black Rodeo is this fascinating documentary from '72 directed by Jeff Kanew. It captures the unique blend of rodeo culture and urban life, mostly set in Harlem. The atmosphere feels raw and authentic, diving deep into the lives of the cowboy community that's often overlooked. The pacing is a bit laid-back, allowing you to soak in the sights and sounds, from the rodeo events to the vibrant street scenes. The performances are genuine; you really get a sense of the passion these riders have for their craft. It’s not your typical rodeo movie, more of a cultural snapshot, showing how these traditions thrive in an unexpected place. Definitely has its own vibe.
