"Sweetgrass" presents a riveting and poetic portrait of the American West just as one of its traditional ways of life dies out. Shot amidst the grandeur of Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, the film follows the last modern-day cowboys to lead their flocks of sheep up into the breathtaking and often dangerous mountains for summer pasture. Magnificently photographed and unsparingly candid, "Sweetgrass" discovers a world of harsh beauty and arduous labor, where humans still work in rugged intimacy with nature. (90 minutes)
