Donkey Race, is a 2024 Saudi movie, directed by Mohammed Baqer. with a runtime of 20 minutes.
Donkey Race is a documentary short from Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, that explores the fascinating contradiction at the heart of a traditional local sport. The film documents the historic donkey races once held in Al-Ahsa while examining the curious cultural paradox they embody: the donkey, central to this celebrated community event, simultaneously carries a strong social stigma in the same culture. A quietly observational work that uses a regional tradition as a lens to explore questions of cultural value and social contradiction.
