Synopsis

RODEOS will look at the fascinating, exciting and often fatally dangerous world of rodeo. We'll explore the origins of rodeo and find out what it takes to become a professional on the circuit. We'll give you a first-hand look at rodeo schools, where the amateurs and professionals learn how to hang on and ride. You will get a glimpse of the heroic rodeo clown. More than entertainment, he is often the only thing standing between a fallen cowboy and an angry 1800-pound bull. You'll learn the difference between stock and timed events and see the many different varieties of rodeos staged all over the world. We'll talk with the professionals inside and outside the arena and see what it takes to put on one of the last pure forms of cowboy entertainment.
