Backside

“Backside” offers an intimate and tender glimpse into the lives of immigrant workers who begin their days at 2 a.m., seven days a week, year-round, caring for some of the world’s most prized racehorses. Set against the backdrop of a racing season at Churchill Downs’ barns in Louisville, Kentucky —known as the “backside”—this observational film reveals the symbiotic relationship of human and animal labor, celebrating the quiet beauty of unseen work and the resilience of those who sustain it. In English and Spanish with bilingual subtitles.

2025 Tribeca Film Festival premiere.

Presented as part of the Cine en Español Series with Park City Library. Admission and popcorn are free!
