Donkey men - medical corps soldiers who used donkeys to carry the injured from the battlefields - played an important role in the First World War. Based on the real life heroics of New Zealand soldier Richard Henderson and his faithful partner Rolly the donkey, The Donkey Man shows the war from Rolly's point of view as he carries the wounded and sick away from the front. Glyn Harper uses the relationship between Henderson and Rolly to explore the hardships and sadness of war.
