1. The Last Go Round
A ragged, larger-than-life cast of cowboys, showmen and carnival folk converge on an early-twentieth-century rodeo in the Pacific Northwest, where a legendary final contest becomes the occasion for tall tales, rough humor and bittersweet reflection; through vivid episodic scenes and colorful characters the story celebrates and questions American myth-making, masculinity, camaraderie and the slow fading of an age as aging performers and young riders grapple with glory, loss and the need to keep stories alive.
