Troy Tuni, Navajo bull rider from Rock Point Arizona whose rodeo skills won countless belt buckles over the years and whose sense of humour and generosity won both hearts and minds inside and outside the rodeo family. Rest easy Troy.
This film is dedicated to Troy's family and friends.
“Thanks to Sammy, Lola and Timmy all the ducks were laid out. We had a country house, an old pub, a retired football hooligan who kept repeating ‘he was shitting himself’, a drinking horse and trainer, a Scotsman, a Viking, a love-struck gardener and a strongman pushing a car with two ladies up a hill in Basingstoke.
What could possibly go wrong?
Fortunately having left the plant on set, she was rescued and placed on the Christmas table with a pair of Ivan’s slippers.”
Life is tough on the Reservations I was welcomed on to, and the people have had to be tough too, but what I discovered, and what Riders of the Buffalo Nations shows, is that the peoples’ hearts have never hardened.

Connie Corcoran has dedicated his life to the mighty Blackwater river and, over the years, its currents have shaped him. He is one of Ireland's great salmon fishing guides, but if the salmon numbers continue to decline, he may be one of its last. The River Man is a fated love story between a man and a river.
