What do we know about Gerard Butler’s Blue Zeus documentary?

Blue Zeus is directed by Rocky Romano and Miranda Winters. The documentary movie stars former entertainment producer Clare Staples, who is now the founder of the nonprofit Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary. It will also feature an appearance from The Vampire Diaries star Arielle Kebbel, who’s also a wild horse advocate like Staples. It is executive-produced by Daryl Hannah and Matthew Reis, with Jamie Baldanza, Analís Martin, and Nicholas McCarthy serving as producers.

“The movie follows Staples as she fights to rescue the titular mustang and reunite him with his lost family, exposing the U.S. government’s deeply flawed and abusive wild horse management system. Through emotional storytelling and unprecedented insider access, the film delivers both powerful journalism and a visually stunning portrait of survival and advocacy,” reads the synopsis.”Featuring the heartfelt story of the rescue of a wild mustang, Blue Zeus shines light on the plight of America’s wild horses, exposing a flawed and corrupt government system rampant with animal abuse and paralyzing bureaucracy. Wild horse advocate Clare Staples attempts to rescue Blue Zeus after the US government captures him and his family. After 9 months, Clare is finally able to rescue him, but then she must beat all odds to find his family, who are lost in an overcrowded system. With unparalleled access to government employees, their helicopter contractors, and a whistle-blower, the film delivers jaw-dropping journalism through an emotional and visually stunning story.”
