Creative Notes:
This is a short loosely based on the feature script that I wrote, directed and shot in Pakistan to give an idea to investors of the world where the story takes place.
Small Voices
The powerful true story of children kidnapped from Pakistan, brought to Dubai and forced to race as child camel jockeys.
Project collaboration:
Open
Synopsis:
Based on true events, 'Small Voices' tells the story of street children kidnapped from Pakistan and their subsequent forced migration to the Arab Emirates, where they are trained to race camels for the pleasure of the wealthy sheikhs. It is the story of two boys, Jamal and Yasser, and their dedication to each other in their struggle to survive.
By helping one another, they are able to persevere. And, ultimately, make their escape from the misery of the camps. But can they escape the dangers of the desert, too?
