The East Texas cowboys, with the help of their remarkable cow dogs, carry on a unique tradition—forged in the forests, soggy bottom lands, and pastures of the region. This feature-length documentary from Curtis Craven, A Way of Life: The East Texas Cowboys, follows a group of day work cowboys and their dogs, a family of horse trainers, and the controlled chaos of an auction house located in the heart of Texas cow-calf country. Craven’s storytelling sheds light on the often unknown world of the East Texas Cowboy.
Stay after the screening for a discussion and Q&A with filmmaker Curtis Craven and featured cowboys Carroll Langham and Klay Currie.
