Secretariat

Drama

Directed by Randall Wallace

Housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery - with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin - manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years.

    Season 3, Episode 4, "Fish Out of Water." It's among my favorites of the series! In it, BoJack attends a Film Festival for an early showing of his Secretariat movie. It inexplicably takes place in an underwater city; It's almost silent; the plot is about returning a lost baby seahorse to its Dad.

    Pick a movie that could have been great. Recast ONE role to fix it. Secretariat (2015) - the leading role was played by the talented but problematic Bojack Horseman. The movie would have performed better if the leading role had gone to Andrew Garfield as originally planned.

    The movie Secretariat is less about the horse and more about the woman who risked everything to make it happen. It's a very family friendly movie, and it may fit of the type of movie you're looking for, even if it is a little outside the box.

    For creatives this matters more than most, because creative work is inherently exportable. A song, a film, a fashion label crosses borders easily. What holds it back is the system around it. The AfCFTA Secretariat values the continental creative industry at $50B+.
