[edit] Information

Reporter Shaunagh Connaire and director Hugo Ward visit Texas to meet some of America's youngest cowboys: the children participating in what has been described as the most dangerous organised sport on the planet. Bull-riding is the fastest-growing sport in the US and a multi-million-dollar business. The Unreported World team capture jaw-dropping scenes as 10-year-old children attempt to stay on half-tonne bulls selectively bred to be bigger and more aggressive than ever before. Studies reveal that bull-riding is 10 times more dangerous than American football, but it has never been so popular, with children as young as seven riding bulls ten times their size. Unreported World is in Fort Worth, Texas - the heart of Cowboy country and the spiritual home of bull-riding - in an action-packed and eye-opening episode of the series.
