Thursday Afternoon Films “Sweetgrass” (2009)
For generations, sheep ranchers in Montana followed a centuries-old tradition: driving thousands of sheep through the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains to their summer grazing grounds. Sweetgrass is a visually stunning documentary that captures one of the last of these epic migrations, offering an intimate look at the lives of modern-day cowboys, their animals, and the unforgiving wilderness.
With almost no narration or interviews, the film immerses viewers in the rhythms of ranch life through breathtaking landscapes and richly detailed natural sound. Both meditative and deeply human, Sweetgrass is a powerful portrait of endurance, tradition, and the fading legacy of the American West.
