Herding sheep is no easy business. With the furry creatures running every which way across Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth mountains and horses that just can't keep up, it's enough to make the modern cowboy call home and complain. The cell phone-toting wranglers in this new documentary struggle to uphold traditions as their business becomes all but obsolete in the face of growing technology. Directors Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor unobtrusively capture the expansive beauty of what remains of the "Wild West" and the dynamic people who make the journey across it each spring.
