Touching Wild Horses will be released on DVD on the 14th Feb. This stunning film shows the healing power of nature at its best as a young boy struggles to re-build his life following a tragic accident in which his parents are killed.

After a terrible car accident involving his family, 12-year-old Mark is sent to live with his aunt Fiona (played by Jane Seymour) on a beautiful and remote island. Isolated from most of the world, Fiona and a park ranger are the only human inhabitants of this wind-swept island, home to herd of wild horses. Her reclusive personality makes Mark’s new life on the island difficult but he soon begins to see the beauty of the nature and the animals around them including the horses they are forbidden to touch.

When the mother of a young colt is killed, Mark breaks the rules and begins to feed and nurture the young animal. At first Fiona is furious but as she and Mark begin to create their own family bonds, she helps him to keep the horse from starving and each learns lessons from the other about compassion, faith and family ties.

The film is rated a PG and will retail at £12.99.
