Horizon: An American Saga chronicles a long and complex period of expansion and settlement of the American West, before and after the Civil War. Experienced through the eyes of many – families, friends, and foes – the epic is fraught with peril and intrigue, from the constant hardships caused by natural elements to the interactions with the Native Americans who lived on those lands, to the determination and often ruthlessness of those who sought to colonize them. Set against the visually stunning landscape of the vast frontier, the film offers a thought-provoking and relentless look at the past of the United States.
A cinematic spectacle not to be missed for its scope, scale, and character-driven emotion, which can perhaps be truly experienced only on the big screen. Told through refreshingly honest storytelling, Horizon brings to the cinema the stories of individuals and entire families who attempted to navigate through a sea of internal struggles and changes with little material wealth and resources in their favor, but with pride and dignity. An emotional pilgrimage for survival through the harsh terrains of the West, cruel and unforgiving.
“There was a great injustice occurred in the West. But it doesn’t minimize the courage it took for my ancestors to actually cut loose and go there… It’s our history.”
