What is High Horse: The Black Cowboy about?
Executive produced by Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, the 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. It rides into the forgotten corners of history, shattering myths and celebrating the Black cowboys, farmers, jockeys, musicians, and rodeo champions who built the West — and now takes back their place in the saddle, sitting high atop the horse.
“I’m grateful to Monkeypaw for amplifying the powerful voices and long-standing culture of Black cowboys and cowgirls through High Horse: The Black Cowboy on Peacock,” Peele said. “Their history is inseparable from the story of our country — and this project aims to honor and celebrate their lasting legacy.”
Who is featured in High Horse: The Black Cowboy?
The Peacock documentary includes original interviews with Peele, Bun B, Blanco Brown, Pam Grier, Lori Harvey, INK, Tina Knowles, Rick Ross, Glynn Turman, Lynae Vanee, and The Compton Cowboys. The doc also features an original score composed by Raphael Saadiq.
