Full Plot Details

'Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo' goes behind prison walls to follow convict cowgirls on their journey to the 2007 Oklahoma State Penitentiary Rodeo. In 2006, female inmates were allowed to participate for the first time. In a state with the highest female incarceration rate in the country, these women share common experiences such as broken homes, drug abuse and alienation from their children. Since 1940, the Oklahoma State Penitentiary has held an annual 'Prison Rodeo'. Part Wild West show and part coliseum-esque spectacle, it's one of the last of its kind - a relic of the American penal system. Prisoners compete on wild-broncs and bucking bulls, risking life-long injuries. For inmates like Danny Liles, a 14-year veteran of the rodeo, the chance to battle livestock offers a brief respite from prison life. Within this strange arena the prisoners become the heroes while the public and guards applaud.

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Rachel SaltzThese are vivid, flawed, even introspective characters. And they're classic American strivers. With rodeo, but not just that, they hope to go beyond where they have been.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleInformally sketched but deeply felt, Bradley Beesley's documentary Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo mingles with the spirited cowgirl inmates who compete in Oklahoma's annual state penitentiary rodeo.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Michael AtkinsonThere's enough rosy-cheeked drama, triumph, and sacrifice for a ready-made Hollywood remake.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Frank LoveceInteresting but uncritically naïve look at male and female convicts in Oklahoma, competing in one of the nation's last two prison rodeos.
Austin Chronicle - 5/10 by Marc SavlovOnce the rodeo's over, where do the sweethearts go? Beesley, thankfully, doesn't end the film with the end of the rodeo, but there's a potentially more interesting follow-up doc ghosting right behind this one.
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Paul SchrodtThroughout, the film circles around the sociological significance of the rodeo.
User Review - 8/10 by Walter MAs someone who works in Corrections, I really felt this film did a great job of showing how recreational activities can be an incentive for good behavior in the prison system. You get a grasp of how much it means to the inmates to have something to look forward to all year long, and to be able to compete and win something gives them a sense of accomplishment. This film also allows you to see into the lives of the inmates, what they did to get to prison and also how they have changed. There are some touching moments as some people are reunited with family for the first time in years. This film may be called Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo, but it is about so much more than the competition.
