Riding Bull Cart

$30.00 TTD

2015. TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO. 10’14”. DOCUMENTARY

Like a mirage, Boylie appears out of the maddening heat, noise and haze, riding atop a cart drawn by a slow, steady, beautiful creature. Boylie is one of the last few people still riding a traditional “bull cart” in urbanized Trinidad.

Description

About:
“Riding Bull Cart” captures a time-capsule moment, and depicts a symbiotic and pure relationship of human and animal (non-human) working together. Come along for a short ride that takes the duo against the ebb and flow of the quickening and often careless pace of urbanization, into the recesses of our past.

The film is a reflection on happiness and personal choice. It confronts a stereotype head-first and overturns it, and pays homage to the path less traveled.

Team:
