An award-winning short documentary chronicling a father and son’s passion for Bahraini traditional donkey racing is set to be extended into a feature film later this year.
Directed by Bahraini filmmaker Mohammed Jassim, Bar Saar was among seven films to win a prestigious accolade at the Sharjah Film Platform Awards last December, selected from 38 entries featured at the festival.
Mr Jassim, who suffers from sickle cell disease, says he edited the movie during a long stay in hospital following the tragic loss of his six-year-old son.
