RadioWest and Utah Film Center have partnered to present the best in documentary filmmaking. We talk with established and new directors who are changing the way audiences see the world and then screen their films.

Through the Lens: Unbranded

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio
Published September 30, 2015 at 11:00 AM MDT

When Ben Masters and three of his friends graduated from college they decided to postpone entering the “real world” and instead head out on the trail with some horses. Their ride started at the Mexican border and ended five months and 3,000 miles later when they reached Canada. The trials and travails of their epic adventure are the subject the new documentary film Unbranded. Masters masterminded the film and the journey, and he joins us Wednesday as we continue our Through the Lens film series.

Join us for a free screening of Unbranded on Wednesday, October 7 at 7:00 p.m., at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center [map]. Doug Fabrizio will host a post-film Q&A with Ben Masters. It’s part of our Through the Lens series in partnership with Utah Film Center. RSVP to the event via Facebook | DETAILS

Ben Masters was the mastermind behind the Unbranded ride and documentary film, and he authored the book of the same name [Amazon|Indiebound].
