Marquette – Documentary film fans and local history buffs are invited to enjoy the film Running Wild: The Life of Dayton O. Hyde and chat with the film’s director, Suzanne Mitchell, after the screening on Tuesday, August 5 at 5:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
The film describes the inspiring journey of a remarkable cowboy who triumphs in his quest to protect wild horses and the American West.
Dayton Hyde, born in Marquette, was 13 when he fled his parents’ home and caught a freight train heading west to his uncle’s cattle ranch in Oregon.
“Running Wild” is Hyde’s story, featuring breathtaking scenery shot in
the Black Hills Wild of South Dakota; western Oregon and Michigan’s
Lake District. Footage of captured wild horses presents a stark contrast to the horses running free on the Black Hills Wild Horse
Sanctuary, which Hyde founded in 1988.
Producer/Director Suzanne Mitchell has produced numerous long and
short form television series and specials as well as feature length
documentaries. Mitchell will hold a video call question and answer session with the audience after the film screening.
Viewers are welcome to bring a take out supper to enjoy in a dinner
theater setting during the film. There is no admission charge to attend the event. For more information call the Peter White Public Library at 226-4318 or visit www.pwpl.info.
