Robin Wiltshire, an immigrant inspired by the iconography of the Hollywood western, finds meaning and redemption through the art of horse training.
"Although it has almost disappeared in the 21st century, the Western helped shape the cinema as we know it today. It is one of the pillars of the seventh art, influencing millions and millions of people around the world. And one of them is Robin Wiltshire, a man who had a difficult childhood and who, to escape reality, clung to Western films. In 'My Heroes Were Cowboys', an emotional documentary exclusive to Netflix, we follow the story of this man, understand the importance of the Western and understand how he got to what he does today: training the horses he loves so much to appear on the big screen."
