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.

“On more than one occasion, whether on horseback or around campfires, the young women articulate their love for the wild and a profession that lets them be one with it.” – Variety 

Official selection: Telluride Film Festival, Berkshire International Film Festival.
