Saving the slumdog donkeys
Description
This is the story of an eccentric British couple who give up the comforts of retired life in England and travel to India on a mission. They want to save the working donkey. For the slum dwellers in Delhi, the donkey is a work machine, put into back-breaking labour 7 days a week, 8 hours a day. These 'slumdog donkeys' are being worked to death, seldom reaching their 5th birthday. Desperate to make a difference, Jean and Bob Harrison swap their life in North London to spend their days driving around the dusty Delhi roads in their ramshackle animal ambulance, picking up and carefully putting half dead donkeys into the back.
