First Person - Indonesia's child jockeys

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 29 Σεπ 2014

In Indonesia's remote southern island of Sumbawa, children as young as five compete as professional jockeys in traditional horse races. The young racers often stare death in the face while chasing around a dusty track in front of cheering spectators. Predominantly from poor families, the jockey's race when when they're not studying at school and earn enough to support their entire families. Sahrul Ramadan, an eight-year-old child tells Al Jazeera his story.
