Running Wild (also known as Born Wild) is a 1995 film starring Brooke Shields, Martin Sheen and David Keith. It was written by Andrea Buck, Dee McLachlan[a] and John Varty.[1][2]
A journalist for a struggling television station travels to Africa to meet conservationist and filmmaker John Varty, who has been following a mother leopard for several years. She believes this would make an interesting story for the station's viewers. However, things don't work out as planned as one of the station's executives is trying to stop her filming idea and the unfortunate death of the mother leopard.
But Hyde is best known as a conservationist and fierce protector of wildlife, especially horses, as director Suzanne Mitchell chronicles in her documentary "Running Wild: The Life of Dayton O. Hyde." Since 1988, Hyde has operated the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary in South Dakota, a place where hundreds of mustangs can roam free over 12,000 acres rather than being rounded up.

Perhaps a wild coincidence, perhaps a far reach. But I wonder how many white film critics and audiences would even have that frame of reference. I say that not to demean other writers or deride them antagonistically. Again, this is all about the infinite spectrum of analysis and finding a new way to look at a movie. For my part, the racial subtext was enough to latch onto, but my military service once again allowed for deeper resonance with material that others may not have considered.
"The railroad is a very popular option for production companies to utilize for their projects, due to the unique nature of our operations and relatively close proximity to a major film hub like New York City, we have been featured in many productions over the years and try to go above and beyond to accommodate their needs. Something that I think the audience will appreciate once you see what Shaq did involving the Adirondack Scenic Railroad," said Bethan Maher, executive director, in a news release.
Running Wild is about Stella Davis, a widow who saves her ranch by working with convicts to rehabilitate a herd of wild horses that wandered on to her property. Stella must fight prejudice, greed, bureaucracy and vanity (including her own) to finally understand that there is no better remedy to misfortune than helping another living creature.

All our film posters are original, and most have been used in cinemas. This means that they may show signs of use, including fading, creasing, holes and staining. We endeavor to list these if they are significant, but there may be minor, age -related wear that is not detailed. Posters from this era were printed onto cheap, thin paper, which over time can become brittle and discolored. Folding the paper caused further damage, and the posters may have split along the fold lines, along with damage caused by tape and drawing pin holes. During the linen backing process, the poster is cleaned to remove dirt and marks, where possible, and de-acidified to neutralize the paper and prevent further decay. The poster is pasted onto a layer of Masa paper and linen fabric, which flattens it, fixes tears, prevents further damage and brings the wonderful artwork back to life.
As an acclaimed "adventure cameraman," he's traveled to over 90 countries to film Grylls navigating extreme conditions on "Man vs. Wild" and keeping celebrity guests alive on "Running Wild with Bear Grylls." He's also filmed other documentary work for National Geographic and Lonely Planet.
On "Running Wild," celebrities join Grylls in the wilderness to hike, swim, climb, rappel, and leap their way to an extraction point. Climbing the Cuillin Mountains in Scotland in stormy weather proved challenging for the crew as well as the guest of honor.
Today in a polarized political climate new designations and river protections have stalled even though there is no time in history more important then now to protect our freshwater ecosystems. We hope this film will inspire and educate people across the country to protect their home river under Wild and Scenic so we can continue this important legacy for future generations to come.
Goetz, a film production and environmental science major, and Grubb, a biology major, bonded over their shared passion for wildlife conservation and visual storytelling. In 2013, they spent several weeks in Costa Rica filming a wildlife documentary called "Running Wild," funded through a grant from the University.
In the decade since their wildlife filmmaking journey began, Grubb and Goetz have amassed an impressive list of accomplishments, including Emmy nominations, a National Geographic film award, recognition as emerging conservation leaders and a reputation in the industry as diligent and respectful filmmakers.
Far from the goofy ridiculousness that our modern eyes have come to expect from the juvenile delinquent films of the 1950s, Running Wild is largely serious and often quite sad, with the Holocaust as an unexpectedly major plot point.
Though the film starts out familiar, with "teens" (aka people in the mid-20s at the youngest) disrespecting the law abiding, older generation, fighting a lot, and just generally being jerks, it quickly narrows its focus to Ralph Barton (William Campbell), a cop going undercover as a 19-year-old (LOL) tough in an effort to bust a car-stealing ring led by a shady garage owner named Ken Osanger (Keenan Wynn).

Stella not only finds hope in the form of the wild horses, but many startling revelations such as it was illegal to feed or water the undernourished horses and that they would have to be returned to where they came from. Luckily for the wild horses, Stella comes up with a plan.
The children behaved . . . for the first ten or so minutes of Finding Dory. And those were a blissful ten or so minutes because things went downhill fast. See, I think the children would have been better behaved if the lights were off, as lights off in a theater had this "be quiet and watch the movie" single to it. With the lights on, it had the connotation of "the movie is yet to start, so go wild," it seemed.
Soon, the children were restless. They got up and started to play in their row quietly, which slowly grew to treat the whole theater as a playground. I'm not sure why no one left to complain . . . For all I know, the parents trying to keep their kids from entering the mayhem were too frazzled to think about that, or someone was fearful of the employees shutting off the film midway through.
With children hopping on seats and running through rows and down the aisles, I'm shocked no employees came to check the commotion. Then, the real stars of the story came to play: The entitled parents.
It seemed one kid hit another kid in the mouth somehow, then two pairs of entitled parents began to scream about how dare they raise an unruly child, threatening to tell an employee what happened, and suing the parents into the ground. I only watched in horror, glancing from the film to the entitled parents screaming, unsure which was more entertaining. Since I didn't have my phone on hand, I couldn't record what was before me.
Then someone from the row above us got tired and began to go off on some of the entitled parents, pointing out this is a movie theater, and they should have control over their entitled kids. This only caused the entitled parents to defend their precious angels, screaming that this was a movie theater and the parent going off on them have to be quiet during a film. Ironic, I know.
This lasted throughout a mass portion of the film. The children only settled at the climax action part of the film at the end of it. The parent who tried to argue to the entitled parents grumbled back to his seat five minutes after arguing with them. The film ended, around 80-min of the film having been used as an excuse for entitled parents to not parent their entitled offspring, and my mom and I grabbed our things and left the theater. The one or two parents, who kept their children from turning the cinema into their own personal playground, decided to complain to management/a higher up employee for what happened, as no employees entered throughout the film.
