🎥 John Payne: The One Arm Bandit 🐎
From tragedy to triumph, John Payne’s incredible journey is nothing short of legendary. After losing his arm in an accident, he found himself in debt and living with his grandmother. But with determination, a homemade trailer, and a love for animals, Payne turned his life around—becoming one of the most celebrated rodeo performers in the world. 🌟
For over 30 years and 5,000 shows, Payne and his four-legged partners (including African Watusi Longhorn Steers!) have wowed audiences with jaw-dropping stunts. His act, which earned him 15 Specialty Act of the Year titles, is a testament to resilience, family values, and an unbreakable bond with animals.
🎬 Join us at the Wild West Film Festival on October 12 and 13 for the premiere of this inspiring documentary. The film will be audio described for the blind, and we’ll have an American Sign Language interpreter on site for the deaf community, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this powerful story. 🤠
Not bad for a man who “died” 44 years ago and came back stronger than ever.
