VIA; December 1986. Eleven horses step off a cargo plane onto a desert so dead, local ranchers had stopped calling it land. They called it the place where nothing grows. No grass. No water. Winters that hit forty below. China had just spent millions flying these zoo-born animals halfway around the world to dump them here, and every serious ecologist on the planet called it a death sentence. A BBC crew flew in to film the release. They packed up and left after two days, certain they were watching a disaster in real time. What those eleven horses did next, no one believed was possible.
