The Edge – Bruce Anderson | Natural Humanship from AOS – the art of storytelling on Vimeo.
This film showcases Anderson’s belief that man’s capacity to reduce the wild is the cause and effect of mental imbalance. As a boy, Anderson spent most of his time in “Mother Nature’s classroom” learning key tools to balance the mindset; be more AlphA. The impact that horses have had on his life is fundamental to his work which uses a 1000 pound animal to deliver an epiphany: you are merely a steward of this earth.
