This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Except for the purposes of research where you're looking for parameters to judge films by, I doubt if anyone will ever watch this film, ever. I remember watching it in 1963 with some friends - the reason why it sticks in my mind is because it was always used as a benchmark to describe something else by, i.e.,'It was nearly as bad as......', or, 'It couldn't be any worse than...........' To be fair, this was a very low budget 'B' film shown in support of the main feature. It's about an Irish lad that takes his donkey called 'Patchy' to a local derby and races it. The 'speeded-up' special effects are very much of the time and are truly awful. There are some who will find this film rather quaint, but that's not a sentiment I can agree with! Judge for yourself, the Children's Film & Television Foundation Ltd., have uploaded a 5 minute clip onto Youtube!
