Blue Zeus is the powerful true story of a wild mustang’s fight for freedom—and the determined advocate who refused to let him be forgotten. 

Set against the vast, untamed landscapes of the American West, the film follows the breathtaking journey of a stallion who once roamed free, until his life was forever changed by a government-funded roundup.

When Blue Zeus and his family are captured in a brutal helicopter roundup, they become victims of a deeply flawed federal program that removes thousands of wild horses from public lands each year. Their separation and imprisonment symbolize a greater crisis.

Enter Clare Staples, a wild horse advocate and sanctuary founder who refuses to look away.

Driven by heartbreak and fueled by purpose, Clare rescues Blue Zeus and embarks on an emotional mission to reunite him with his lost family. For nine long months, she battles red tape, overcrowded holding facilities, and a system designed to forget these horses. 

Her determination transforms into a powerful campaign to protect not just Blue Zeus, but the future of all wild mustangs.

With unprecedented access to BLM officials, helicopter contractors, wildlife experts, cattle ranchers, lobbyists and whistleblowers, Blue Zeus blends gripping investigative journalism with stunning cinematography. 

This is more than a documentary— it’s a call to action. By exposing hidden truths and celebrating the spirit of one unforgettable horse, Blue Zeus aims to ignite a national movement for justice, freedom, and compassion.
