LFS Presents A FREE SCREENING OF JONNIE

The Livingston Film Series and Montana Public Television are delighted to present a free screening of Jonnie. Jonnie Jonckowski’s obsession with becoming a champion bull rider defied gender stereotypes and resulted in life-threatening injuries. It also led to a life of astonishing triumph and heartbreak. Jonnie stitches together a woman’s intrepid pursuit of a world title in the 1980s with her dramatic present-day story: rescuing battered horses, battling natural disasters, and fiercely devoting herself to a community in need. With a graceful blend of archival and verité footage, dynamic interviews, and flashbacks brought to life through artful animation, the feature-length documentary explores the human need to find meaning in whatever we do. There will be a Q&A with the film makers and Jonnie Jonckowski following the screening. Admission is free. No reservations or tickets required.
