In it, Idris Elba and Caleb McLaughlin star as father and estranged son, whose bond is strengthened by being part of an urban riding club based out of Philadelphia.
The movie also shows that the son finds out that the city is planning to close the stables.
But is the club and land actually real? Are there real Black Americans riding on horseback in Philadelphia?
Here’s the summary of Concrete Cowboy: When 15-year-old Cole (McLaughlin) is expelled from school in Detroit, he is sent to North Philadelphia to live with Harp (Elba), his estranged father.
Harp finds solace in rehabilitating horses for inner city cowboys at the Fletcher Street Stables, a real-life black urban horsemanship community that has provided a safe haven for the neighborhood residents for more than 100 years.
Torn between his growing respect for his father’s community and his reemerging friendship with troubled cousin Smush (Jerome), Cole begins to reprioritize his life as the stables themselves are threatened by encroaching gentrification.”
The film first debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2020, and would have also premiered at Telluride, but that festival was cancelled.
Based on the novel “Ghetto Cowboy” by G. Neri, Concrete Cowboy is directed by Ricky Staub and will be streaming on Netflix on April 2.
