Lost Riders
Sold by his uncle in Pakistan to a stranger bearing promises of a new life, Rashid and Shari are soon separated, given new names and forced into work as camel jockeys in Dubai. Starved, beaten into working until they drop from exhaustion and often injured by blows from the horses' hooves the boys are desperate to find a way home despite Rashid's success on the track. Grounded in harsh, well-researched reality this is a gripping story of child slavery and trafficking, sympathetically told.
