"Across the world, millions of people have witnessed massive UFOs in our skies. They have not only seen the Alien craft, but have experienced a phenomenon that utterly defies our current understanding of science and physics. The fact is there have been dozens, possibly hundreds of UFO's that have crashed on Planet Earth. Mankind has witnessed these crashes, communicated with the visitors, even left our planet with them once they are able to return to their world. But the most shocking revelation of all is the reason why they come. In the modern age, government and military factions move quickly to take over the crash area; remove all evidence large and small; threaten local authorities and eyewitnesses to never speak a word under the name of national security; then release a plausible cover story like a well-oiled machine. They recover technology so advanced that even though it has transformed our world, much of it is still beyond their grasp. They also recover corpses and on several occasions live Alien beings, often referred to as extraterrestrial biological entities or EBE's. Secretive military and black operations teams know WHY the UFOs are here. We the people however are constantly redirected by endless forms of information technology that serves as the supreme distraction. Why, because there is a war out there in outer space, a war that has been raging for centuries. SHORT - There have been hundreds of UFO's that have crashed on Planet Earth. Mankind has witnessed these crashes, communicated with the visitors, even left our planet with them once they are able to return to their world.

Join these legendary families from Italy, Mexico, Hungary and France as they bring the history, risk and beauty of the original circus act to a multi-generational audience, one last time in Orlando, Florida. Then, return 10 years later to discover how these families have dealt with the passing of time in a range of unusual happy endings and ultimate heartbreak. In 2006, we meet the best-of-the-best bareback artists past and present -- The Donnerts, the Turveys, The Suarezes, the Zamperla-Zoppes, Timi Loyal and Mark Karoly. Each family holds a unique place in American circus riding history. They are competitors that agree to unite for a one night performance for the sake of keeping their art alive. From the seventh generation Italian Zamperla Zoppes, to the Donnerts who escaped from communist Hungary, to the Loyals of London who joined forces with the Mexican Suarez family, not only will their bold skill draw you in, but the interpersonal portrait of their family will capture your heart and submerge you into a fascinating world. Jumping through flaming hoops and executing somersaults high into the big-top while bareback on magnificent steeds does not make them flinch. For these families, fear is not felt at the face of their daring stunts, but rather at the pending unknown: their future without a ring. Fast-forward to 2016. Pushed by the modern climate, elephants are banned from the circus and the Big Top landscape is altered once again. It's a new era when animal rights are in full swing, and the most successful circuses leave behind animal acts, along with the financial burden associated with animal care and travel. We reunite with the bareback riding families 10 years later to find out how they've dealt with these changes, mere months before Ringling announces the closure of the legendary Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus after 146 years. The fate of the American Circus seems almost certain, leaving the future of bareback riding more ambiguous than ever.
