The six-parter from ABC Studio focuses on the Elite Lady Bull Riders, an organization started by Jordan Halvorsen, one of theis heard saying she started the organization "To give women a space in bull riding." And you'd better believe she's serious.
A few years ago the competitor, originally from North Carolina, almost died when a bull stepped on her stomach, causing a lacerated liver and internal bleeding. She flatlined but was back riding bulls just three months later.
That's the level of intensity and commitment the other bull riders featured in the show - Catalina Langlitz, Renata Nunes, Athena Rivera and Alexia Huffman - are up against inside and outside of the arena. You'll need to tune in to see how they measure up.
