Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo (Documentary) trailer 17-9-2010 – Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo (Documentary) In theaters: September 17th, 2010 Copyright © 2010 Cinema Purgatorio Director: Bradley Beesley Cast: Monty Baker, Jamie Brooks, Rhonda Buffalo, Crystal Herrington, Daniel Liles, Brandy “Foxie” Witte Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo goes behind prison walls to follow convict cowgirls on their journey to the 2007 Oklahoma State Penitentiary Rodeo. In 2006, female inmates were allowed to participate for the first time. In a state with the highest female incarceration rate in the country, these women share common experiences such as broken homes, drug abuse and alienation from their children. From 1940 – 2008, the Oklahoma State Penitentiary held an annual ‘Prison Rodeo’. Part Wild West show and part coliseum-esque spectacle, it was one of the last of its kind – a relic of the American penal system. Prisoners compete on wild-broncs and bucking bulls, risking life-long injuries. For inmates like Danny Liles, a 14-year veteran of the rodeo, the chance to battle livestock offers a brief respite from prison life. Within this strange arena the prisoners become the heroes while the public and guards applaud. Official Site: cinemapurgatorio.com Run Time: 90 minutes
