This excellent TV miniseries makes a good companion to Lonesome Dove, though not related; directed by veteran film director Walter Hill (48 Hrs). Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church (both won Emmy awards) rescue some Chinese girls sold into slavery, and take them and a herd of horses on the trail to Wyoming. At 3 hrs, it has the epic feel of a long journey on the trail. Emmy nominee Greta Scacchi is also in the cast. 4 Emmys in 16 nominations.
