Bitterbrush

A portrait of friendship, life transitions, and the work of two young women herding cattle in the remote, isolated and rugged mountains of the American West.

Hollyn and Colie spend a last, long summer working as range riders herding cattle in remote Idaho. Totally off grid, and alone with each other, they brave inclement weather and perilous work conditions as they ponder their futures. A portrait of friendship, life transitions, and the work of two skilled young women in the isolated and beautiful landscape of the American West, BITTERBRUSH is an intimate portrayal of a way of life rarely seen on film.
