French filmmaker Jean-Charles Hue’s first feature, The Lord’s Ride, takes place within a community rarely depicted in cinema: the nomadic Yeniche of Northern France.

The Lord’s Ride

Fred experiences a strange vision one night that spurns existential questions, culminating in a decision that threatens to destabilize the most sacred of Yeniche bonds.

The Lord’s Ride earned a Special Mention at the IndieLisboa International Film Festival.
