BLINDERS: The Truth Behind the Tradition

Each year, thousands of tourists visiting New York City take a horse-drawn carriage ride, yet the future of this industry is the subject of a highly charged debate that has been aired on the streets, in the press and at City Hall for decades. Through original footage taken with hidden cameras and interviews with carriage drivers, veterinarians, accident witnesses, animal rights activists, politicians, tourists, residents who live near the horses and people who have rescued NYC carriage horses from slaughter, BLINDERS takes viewers behind the scenes to expose the truth behind the tradition. Blinders aired on the Documentary Channel in 2008 and was screened at film festivals around the country.
