The Long Rider

I watched this heartfelt documentary last night and I'm still crying! It was so emotional, I never expected it. I thought it was going to be a film about horses and adventure, but it's about so much more. I'm so glad my sister told me to watch this documentary! It made me think about my entire life and my dreams. Very inspiring!

If you have not seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch this movie right now. It will not disappoint, trust me.

I will now read the books this young man has written because there's so much I want to know.

I give it 10 stars!!!

Thank you for making this film and sharing it with us.

A beautiful and inspiring film. I love horses, so was bound to love this, but I think it would appeal to a wider audience than just horse and animal lovers. It ticks so many boxes; travel through stunning countries, restores your faith in humanity, romance, human kindness, triumph in the face of adversity, proof the love between humans and animals, the list goes on. The content seemed to be largely filmed by the rider himself, and some taken from news footage gathered in the places he stopped. He met some incredible characters along the way, was shown so much kindness and given so much help by ordinary people. On the flip side, he was shown the opposite by greedy bureaucrats at the border controls. I cried happy and sad tears, and some that were a mixture of both, was totally absorbed in the story, and the uplifting ending was a perfect finish to an epic journey. I'd rather watch a real and inspiring story like this, to a bunch of CGI blue aliens running around any day!!

I watched this film this past Sunday at the Brazil Film Fest in Toronto and it was wonderful. I still don't know why, but it was so emotional. I cried so many times!

Congratulations to Filipe and the team who worked on this documentary. I wish all young people had to watch this in school. It would help point teensin the right direction. Allowing them to see what it takes to live ones dreams.

I will be telling all of my family and friends about THE LONG RIDER and sharing the amazon prime link with them.

I give this film 10 stars out of 10. I'm inspired to go after my own dreams now! Something I hadn't felt in years.

Everyone has their own journey in this world. Understanding what our limits are, being flexible in the face of obstacles that arise and knowing how to learn from each one of them is what makes everything so incredible!

The film The Long Rider shows Filipe Masetti living all of this to the extreme and moves us to never want to give up. He had to review the arrangements, the routes, be patient and perseverant. But his goal never changed, and he kept going.

Whatever obstacles arise this week, move forward. And if you need a safe stop, water, a ride or someone to talk to, call me. I will be delighted to be part of your journey.

Thank you, Filipe!

I watched it twice and cried both times. How not to cry?

The story is full of courage, bravery and inspiration. Filipe shows us that when you want something, with a lot of determination and focus, we can achieve it. Contrary to the people who disbelieved.

For horse lovers, it's quite a story. His love for horses and adventure is clear. Even I, who had never ridden a horse, felt the urge to take a horse and go out into the world.

After all, it's on my favorites list: a documentary like this cannot go unnoticed. The journey touches us and makes it feel like we are riding with him.

Looking forward to the feature film now.
