This is a really excellent movie, a great story of courage, strength, conviction, perseverance, and the ability to pull off something that is rather incredible, and almost superhuman. A really great tale about humanity, about geography, and about the the positive side of human kind. Though it does delve into some territory that's plagued with trafficking and what not, it still maintains a positive note and is a tribute to the Latinos who deal with the nonsense every day.
Nothing but kudos to the entire team and the filmmakers for this project, and a special shout out to Felipe who was beyond extraordinary. A man who had the good fortune of having a wonderful family who supported him all the way, and when it comes down to it, it doesn't really get any better than that in this lifetime.
This is a particular important film for Americans who do not have a passport and have never left the country.

I watched it twice and cried both times. How not to cry?
The story is full of courage, bravery and inspiration. Filipe shows us that when you want something, with a lot of determination and focus, we can achieve it. Contrary to the people who disbelieved.
For horse lovers, it's quite a story. His love for horses and adventure is clear. Even I, who had never ridden a horse, felt the urge to take a horse and go out into the world.
After all, it's on my favorites list: a documentary like this cannot go unnoticed. The journey touches us and makes it feel like we are riding with him.
Looking forward to the feature film now.

A terrific must watch documentary!! I hardly ever watch a spur of the moment documentary let alone write a review. I was born in Calgary and grew up in Southern Alberta in an area Filipe rode thru. Long Rider show the trials and tribulations of planning, preparing for and carrying out such an arduous journey. The people and the places along the way with some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see. Look at the awards won most are Audience choice awards not critic awards. The film shows people of each country he travels thru. The GOOD The Bad and The UGLY. Take an hour and a half out of your schedule and watch this worthwhile movie.
This is such a super beautiful film filled with tons of different feelings in it... I am planning my own long ride through Europe as well as opening a ranch along with a long rider station/stop over, equine school, guest ranch, saloon and boarding. This film inspired me even more and strengthened my wish to make my dream come true! I couldn't help it and had to send Filipe a message! He's such a beautiful soul!!!
I couldn't stop watching his film and after a few days I am still thinking about it. So wonderful of Filipe of sharing his moments amd experience with all of us!! Thank you so much!!!

Everyone has their own journey in this world. Understanding what our limits are, being flexible in the face of obstacles that arise and knowing how to learn from each one of them is what makes everything so incredible!
The film The Long Rider shows Filipe Masetti living all of this to the extreme and moves us to never want to give up. He had to review the arrangements, the routes, be patient and perseverant. But his goal never changed, and he kept going.
Whatever obstacles arise this week, move forward. And if you need a safe stop, water, a ride or someone to talk to, call me. I will be delighted to be part of your journey.
Thank you, Filipe!
