Running With the Herd

In Running With the Herd, director Thorfinnur Gudnason presents a unique perspective on nature documentaries. The film focuses on the lives of horses in Iceland, capturing their beauty and the challenges they face in their environment. The narrative avoids anthropomorphism, instead highlighting the raw drama and emotion inherent in the animals' lives.

Gudnason's previous work, Woodmouse: Life of the Run, has garnered international attention, and Running With the Herd continues this tradition of pushing the boundaries of documentary filmmaking. This film features sharply defined characters, all of whom are horses, offering a compelling look into their world without human interference. Collectors of documentary films will find this title interesting for its artistic approach and its focus on wildlife in a dramatic setting.
