In a year that left this country unmoored, Mikayla Gamble and Dane Del Deo found a way to break through the chaos and tell the beautiful, poignant story of the Compton Cowboys. They shifted the focus away from the trauma and toward the dignity of the Cowboys—and the healing impact they've had on their community and beyond. Filmed in Santa Barbara, we captured the Cowboys riding on the beach for the very first time.
