DARK HORSE (UK) 2015 Dir: Louise Osmond Cert PG (UK) 13th/14th Oct 2015 7.30pm Runs: 85 mins Cast: Brian and Jan Vokes, Angela and Howard Davies. In English.
This inspiring true story is set in a poor Welsh mining village, where barmaid Jan decides to breed her own racehorse. With her husband Brian and one of her regular customers she buys a thoroughbred mare to pair with an ageing stallion, then forms a syndicate with villagers each paying ten pounds a week to raise the foal.
To the amazement of the wealthy racing community Dream Alliance grows up to become a Welsh Grand National winner but then disaster strikes. This heart-warming and inspirational documentary is a poke in the eye for the upper classes and a gripping tale of human and equine determination.
