Meet Me Here - The Roper

The Roper is a short documentary that tells the true story of Kendrick, a young calf roper in Lafayette who dreams of one day making it to the rodeo national championship in Las Vegas. Imagine the modern day cowboy - Hip Hop meets Zydeco; Sean John meets Wrangler.

The film was produced for Meet Me Here, an ongoing series of short documentary films on People, Places and Things. The series was developed as a way to gather an online audience around the power of well told, true stories.
