while
Seabiscuit helped reignite the American spirit, Jim Key, in his
own beautiful way,
whispered to Americans' hearts and awakened their soul."
-- THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
"If
Beautiful Jim Key were alive today, hed have a movie deal.
. ." -- PEOPLE MAGAZINE
For
a century, this astonishing, true story of an American hero who
rose to international fame a century ago, spurring a significant
shift in human consciousness, has been buried in history. What
made him different from other men and women who change the course
of history is that he wasnt a man or a woman. Beautiful
Jim Key was a horse.
Trained
by self-taught veterinarian Dr. William Key, with
only kindness and patience, Jim was an educated horse, whose abilities
to read, spell, do math, and more, made him more valuable than
any racehorse of his time. Together with Doc Key - an ex-slave,
Civil War veteran, horse whisperer, entrepreneur, perhaps the
most famous African-American of his day - Jim became the
number one box office star in the nation and energized the worldwide
animal welfare movement, making the phrase be kind to animals
a household ideal.
At
long last, with her acclaimed, top-selling BOOK, best-selling
AUTHOR Mim Eichler Rivas chronicles this lost HISTORY
of a horse and a man who changed the world. Uncovered by award-winning
filmmaker David Hoffman of Varied Directions International, it
is in the works to be explored in an independent DOCUMENTARY
feature, with a major motion picture soon to be slated. Embodying
the great American VALUES that seek to end cruelty and
violence while promoting KINDNESS, TOLERANCE, LITERACY, EQUALITY
and JUSTICE, Beautiful Jim Key has come back from the
lost pages of history at a time in the world when he is most needed.
