The Stage 32 Videos: Anita Waggoner

In 2022, Anita Waggoner returned to Freedom, Oklahoma, the community and ranching world that inspired FREEDOM, to film a promotional bull riding weekend. The footage captures the authentic atmosphere of Western Oklahoma, including the cowboys, bucking bulls, rodeo action, and community surrounding the world that became the foundation for FREEDOM. For Anita, returning to Freedom was more than a filming opportunity. It was a return to the place where she spent thirteen years immersed in ranching, rodeo, and the bucking bull business, experiences that continue to shape the characters, settings, and authenticity of the FREEDOM television series.
