This documentary pays tribute to these actresses and heroines with strong characters who have been able to impose themselves over the decades in the mythical world of the western. Directed by Jean-François Giré, who also lent his voice to Alexandra Lamy to tell this little-known story, the film is carried by many testimonies of legendary personalities!

Among these personalities are actress Tantoo Cardinal, writer Jim Fergus, journalist Rafik Djoumi, directors Clotilde Bruneau and Carole Chaland, director Bertrand Tavernier and actors and actresses January Jones, Eduardo Noriega and Ed Harris.

For Jean-François Giré, the common thread of Elles ne justait pas même un cheval is to give the lie to the bad reputation of this mythical genre that is the western in which women would have been only anonymous stars. Bringing a new perspective, this documentary wishes to go beyond this restrictive observation, in order to get as close as possible to the reality of cinema in its most diverse modalities!
