Everybody has to face adversity. However, not everyone can conquer it quite like Buck Brannaman. The documentary "Buck" takes you through the daily life of Buck Brannaman, the acclaimed "horse whisperer." Although Buck's life seems simple and peaceful at first, you quickly learn of the adversity that he had to face to be in that position.
When Buck says, "I'm helping horses with people problems," various people could interpret it in many ways. In this documentary we learn that Buck had a very troubled childhood. He was forced to work at a young age for an abusive father, and things only got worse when his mother died. Things got so bad that Buck eventually moved into a foster home to get away from his father. It was in this home where Buck met his new "mother." She was one of the few people to actually care and help Buck, and because of this, they developed a very close relationship. This is very similar to what Buck is doing to these horses. You could simply swap out Buck for a horse, and his foster mother for Buck and you will have a very similar situation.
All in all, this documentary is about a man who passes down life lessons of care down to others.
