After main us by means of the unsettling suburban horrors of Get Out and Us, and the expansive sci-fi spectacle Nope, filmmaker and producer Jordan Peele is again within the documentary house with a compelling new venture, Excessive Horse: The Black Cowboy. The three-part docuseries, government produced by Peele’s personal Monkeypaw Productions, explores a long-overlooked chapter of American historical past: the legacy of Black cowboys and cowgirls, which has typically been erased from the mainstream Wild West narrative.
Jason Perez directs the sequence, and its government producers embody Peele, Win Rosenfeld, Keisha Senter, Jamal Watson, Marí Keiko Gonzalez, Liz Yale Marsh, Kadine Anckle, Tom Casciato, Sacha Jenkins, and Keith McQuirter. Produced by Monkeypaw and Common Tv Different Studio (a division of Common Studio Group), the present blends archival footage, historic pictures, and new interviews.
What can viewers count on? Over three episodes, the sequence “confronts and reclaims the Wild West,” unpacking how Black Cowboys and cowgirls formed America’s frontier tradition, but have typically been written out of it. Interviews characteristic a spread of voices, together with Peele himself, nation and tradition crossover artists similar to Bun B, Rick Ross, and Blanco Brown, actors like Pam Grier and Glynn Turman, equestrian teams similar to The Compton Cowboys, plus voices like Tina Knowles and cultural commentators together with Lynae Vanee. The rating consists by Raphael Saadiq, including a richer musical layer to the storytelling.
