Peacock’s new documentary, High Horse: The Black Cowboy, executive produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, premieres on Peacock on Thursday, November 20. This three-part pop culture and historical documentary confronts and reclaims the Wild West while revealing the story of the Black cowboy — a history that has largely been untold. Featuring original interviews with Jordan Peele, Bun B, Blanco Brown, Pam Grier, Lori Harvey, INK, Tina Knowles, Rick Ross, Glynn Turman, Lynae Vanee and The Compton Cowboys. With an original score by Raphael Saadiq, this series sets the record straight on the American Frontier.
This screening will sneak-preview 101: IMAGE: F*uck Westerns: From Bass Reeves, the real Lone Ranger, to rodeo legend Bill Pickett and fearless Stagecoach Mary, Black pioneers shaped the Frontier. The Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo keeps that fire alive as today’s Black cowboys and cowgirls redefine history.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A, moderated by Gary Hamilton (Associated Press), with executive producer Keisha Senter (Senior Vice President of Culture and Impact, Monkeypaw Productions), executive producer and supervising editor Mari Keiko Gonzalez, co-executive producer and director Jason Perez, actor Glynn Turman, and recording artist Bun B.
Screening co-presented by NBCUniversal, Peacock and Monkeypaw Productions
