"My Favorite Champion" is a film directed by Alexander Danilov, produced with the support of "Federation of Equine Sports Russia." The movie follows a 13-year-old girl named Sasha, her best friend Jonathan, and their long journey leading to significant victories and new discoveries.
Something Interesting:June 2024 saw a scandal erupt around the "Equine Sports Federation of Russia" due to allegations of animal cruelty on film sets. Social media platforms shared a video clip from a filming location where it appears that a horse is being forced to jump over a barrier, only to be jerked back down by three men attached to its harness to ensure it trips and falls. Bystanders speculated that the footage might be from a second take, meaning the animal was subjected to multiple traumatic falls.
Elena Ovsienko, creator of a charitable foundation for horses and their owners, Lirs Help, spoke out against the apparent mistreatment. According to Ms. Ovsienko, a horse of that size would likely sustain a severe injury - potentially even a broken neck - with such a fall. The horse owners agreed, stating that "in the era of computer-generated imagery, special effects, and CGI, it is not always necessary to use live animals." The "Equine Sports Federation of Russia" responded to the accusations, claiming that safety measures were in place during filming, although they did not specify their exact nature.
