The Hog Ranch

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Hog Ranch – Western slang for a low-end, low-down bordello on the outskirts of a military post such as the adobe structure in the desert town of Sputter, Arizona Territory.

How low can someone fall and to what heights can someone else rise when a series of women struggle to survive by selling their only possession – their bodies? What is the price of living day to day and what toll does it take on body, mind and spirit?

These and other challenges face a mutilated Apache woman, a run-away wife and a black woman who runs for sheriff of the community. The women face the daily challenges of their work, attacks by warriors desperately clinging to a vanishing way of life and the conflict of townspeople committed to ending the women’s only means of support. Gold seekers, traveling merchants, religious fanatics and good men fighting bad converge in a surprising showdown at … the Hog Ranch.
