Arman Yeritsyan, Vardan Hovhannisyan | Armenia 2012 | 52 Min. | OmeU

This is a Donkeymentary – a documentary about a small island with 24,000 people, 6,000 donkeys, just 2 cars and a 14-year-old donkey race champion, whose fondest dream in life is nothing more than having a donkey of his own. But the life of Shee Famao is full of contrasts, he is the most popular, but also the poorest boy of the island, trapped with the responsibility for his family, he is criminal who is respected by his community and even the police, he is a hero of the island but without his victorious horse – the donkey!
