Holy Cowboys plot

"In small-town India, a teenage boy and his friends set off on a quest to become saviours of the holy cow."

The short documentary 'Holy Cowboys' shows how young people in some parts of India are indoctrinated and recruited as cow guards. On the one hand, these young people are genuinely caring and loving towards animals, on the other hand, they weaponize the righteous urge to protect the sacred cow into something that sows division and incites cruelty and violence.
