Peacock High Horse: The Black Cowboy

[Infamous114]

​

Peacock’s new documentary, High Horse: The Black Cowboy, executive produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, premieres Thursday, November 20. This three-part pop culture and historical documentary confronts and reclaims the Wild West while revealing the story of the Black cowboy — a history that has largely been untold. Featuring original interviews with Jordan Peele, Bun B, Blanco Brown, Pam Grier, Lori Harvey, INK, Tina Knowles, Rick Ross, Glynn Turman, Lynae Vanee and The Compton Cowboys. With an original score by Raphael Saadiq, this series sets the record straight on the American Frontier.​

Jordan Peele‘ s Monkeypaw Productions is getting back on the documentary horse and is using his movie Nope as inspiration.

The Get Out filmmaker is producing a documentary series that dismantles the whitewashed mythology of the cowboy for Peacock.

Produced through his Monkeypaw Productions label, Peele is producing the untitled series with Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS) as part of his overall deal with Universal Studio Group.

The docuseries will rewrite a foundational piece of American history, unmasking the forces that erased the identity of the Black cowboy from frontier history and present.

Keith McQuirter, who directed MGM+’s By Whatever Means Necessary: The Godfather of Harlem, will serve as showrunner, director and exec producer.

Peele will exec produce alongside Monkeypaw’s President Win Rosenfeld, SVP, Development and Production Jamal Watson and SVP, Culture and Impact Keisha Senter as well as Liz Yale Marsh, who produced CNN’s Little Richard: I Am Everything and has an overall deal with UTAS, and Sacha Jenkins, exec producer of Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men.

Bro I usually see you post these awards updates and get frustrated cause I don’t give a fuck about them, but I really appreciate you doing this one. I totally missed this doc and your post brought it to my attention.
