Q+A with Director Taimi Arvidson

A century ago, women were among rodeo’s most daring bucking bronco riders—until they were pushed out of the sport. Now, a fearless new generation of cowgirls is taking back the arena. Cheyenne follows women competing on the grueling rodeo circuit, risking serious injury atop half-ton horses determined to throw them off. Each rides for deeply personal reasons, some confronting past and present trauma. As they chase a historic championship at Cheyenne Frontier Days, these remarkable athletes prove that sometimes survival means getting back in the saddle—and holding on.
