While we’re on the subject of Vice News… here’s something a
little lighter than my last post. What is it? Wait for it… DONKEY LOVE MAKING!
Yep, absolutely 100% genuine traditional Columbian
human/donkey relationships.
It seems a little too absurd to be real and for the most part you expect the entire 10 minute doc to pure satire but our hopes for it all to be proved a joke are squandered in the final minute of the film, when the famous saying ‘the camera doesn’t lie’ shows clear as day. The crew’s guide taking the plunge…into his donkey’s tunnel of love – sorry about that.
Animal Rights activists are sure to have a field day in
exposing just how far this goes but as an audience member you simply cannot
draw yourself away from the fact that mothers admit that they would rather
their young boys lose their virginity to donkeys, than to women. One young boy
describes his actions so graphically that it made me blush. The caption to the
left is only the beginning. I simply cannot compute an 11yr old boy speaking
like he does, even if he’s been brought up as a ladies man. Apparently being the
village ‘player’ gets a whole lot weirder across the Atlantic.

I think somehow that
popular misogynistic phrase, ‘love a bit of ass’… may have been mistranslated - although the conclusion is true - they do. Unfortunately the donkeys don’t look as impressed, drearily munching on
tufts of grass until their owners finish the job. YAWN.
It seems a bit strange to call it a great documentary but it’s
certainly enjoyable, which
is surely what film-making is all about. The film-maker finds himself holding
his head in his hands as he hears graphic recollections from young boys. It’s
the first film to leave me wide-eyed and with my jaw-dropped since ‘Dogging
Tales’ on Channel4. So there’s a comparison for you!
