🎬 Documentary
This sweeping and meditative film follows two women, Hollyn Patterson and
Colie Moline, as they spend a season herding cattle in the rugged mountains of Idaho—accompanied only by their dogs and the vast surrounding landscape. Directed by Emelie Mahdavian, Bitterbrush is both an intimate portrait of friendship and a reflection on transition, as its subjects confront an uncertain future while immersed in a demanding and vanishing way of life. At once breathtaking and deeply human, the film captures the quiet rhythms of work, solitude, and connection in the modern American West.
Experience this beautifully observed documentary on The Ellen Theatre BIG SCREEN where its expansive vistas and contemplative storytelling can be fully appreciated.
Hailed by critics as a "spare, alluringly meditative portrait."
