Austin Film Festival 2006

Regional Premiere In this contemporary motion picture adaptation of Mary O'Hara's beloved novel My Friend Flicka, 16-year-old Katy McLaughlin dreams of fulfilling her family legacy by working on her father's ranch in modern-day Wyoming. Katy's father wants more for her, however, insisting that Katy go to college. Katy finds a wild mustang, which she names Flicka, and sets out to make her a riding horse. Flicka and Katy are more alike than Katy could have imagined, however. Like Katy, Flicka has a disdain for authority and is not about to give up her freedom without a fight.
