Ahmar Film - The Donkeymentary
In Lebanon’s mountains, farmers, rescuers and old muleteers reveal the intelligence of the much-maligned donkey and the fading bond between an animal, a landscape and the people it has carried.
Ahmar — The Donkeymentary is a short documentary filmed in the mountains of Lebanon. From donkey rescue farms in the Chouf, Beit Chabeb and Jouwar el Hoz to the working highlands of Tannourine, the film meets farmers, rescuers and old muleteers whose lives remain connected to an animal too often reduced to an insult. Through long takes, natural light, and the sounds of breath and hooves on stone, it invites us to reconsider the donkey’s intelligence and its place in Lebanon’s rural memory, paths, and everyday life.
