Stable Life
A high stakes documentary about family, immigration and the hardscrabble world of horse racing
Directed by Sara MacPherson
Dionicia M. spends her days tending horses at the northern California racetrack where she works and lives. Meanwhile, her teenage son José Luis is turning heads as a hotshot jockey in Southern California. Dionicia is in search of a better life for herself and her family, and she and José Luis have gambled their futures on the hardscrabble sport of horse racing. Will they succeed or will immigration raids and racetrack closures keep them from achieving the stable life of their dreams?
