2019 · Film · ★ 6.3
Released in 2019, Sheep Hero is a documentary film directed by Ton Van Zantvoort, running about 81 minutes.
What it’s about. About 10 years ago, filmmaker Ton van Zantvoort got to know Stijn, an idealist with a cheerful, relaxed nature. Stijn is one of the last remaining Dutch shepherds working in the traditional way. We see the shepherd, his sheep and his three loyal dogs crisscrossing nature reserves and farmlands so the herd can graze the land in an eco-friendly way. But nowadays, little remains of the romance and peace that we associate with the centuries-old tradition of sheepherding. Tenders are increasingly hard to acquire—competition from big companies, cheap East European shepherds and smart machinery make Stijn the expensive choice.
How it landed. With an audience score of 6.3/10, Sheep Hero has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
