Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo



After rounding up some rave reviews at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo -- Bradley Beesley's close-up look at cowgirl convicts who compete in the 2007 Oklahoma State Penitentiary Rodeo -- has been lassoed by HBO Documentary Films. The film is tentatively set for a September broadcast premiere on the Cinemax cable network. Director Beesley talks about Sweethearts in the July issue of Cowboys & Indians. And he can be seen (and heard) along with producer James Payne in this video clip.
