Movie Haiku:Doc penned by Noemi Weis focuses on attempts by human rights activists to reunite boys smuggled to Persian Gulf countries to work as jockeys in high end camel races. There is no safe place to stand in this one. Even when they do get “home,” these boys (once tiny but now adolescents) are often exploited & treated as pariahs. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
