"Wild Hearts"
Scenes from the Pilot Show

A billow of steam rises from where a Blacksmith works. CORD, 50’s, an American Indian with a leathery face and long hair emerges from the steam. He wears a long leather apron. He looks out from the barn where MICHAELA, (MICKEY) 12, sits reading a book against a stall fence. She is sweet, down to earth, and a shy girl. She wears jeans and a sweat shirt, MICKEY looks down at the book entitled "Mustang, Wild Spirit of the West." A pony is behind her.

MICKEY (voice over)
Wild horse Annie wanted to save the wild horses of Nevada. The mustangs. I’d give anything to see real wild horses. I dream about them.

She turns to her pony.

MICKEY
Don’t worry, I love you best.

She looks at Cord who subtly waves hello. She waves back.

DISSOLVE TO:

We see a herd of mustangs racing through the hills. The herd moves gloriously through the magnificent landscape. Their long manes blowing in the wind, their tails flowing, their thunderous hooves beating the earth. The wonderful sound of the free horses is now marred by the sound of a propeller plane and the rev of truck engines. Men with Lassos swing their ropes as the approaching trucks close in on the herd.

MICKEY (voice over)
She saw the mustangs being hunted by men in planes and taken away in trucks. She saw them dying. She wanted to save them.

A young American Indian boy runs alongside the herd. He has long hair, little clothes and runs like the wind as he tries to outrun the trucks. He moves like a horse, and seems to be one with the herd.

MICKEY (voice over)
When I dream about wild horses, I feel their freedom and power and I feel the same - just wild inside waiting to breakout.
