Is there is a greater calling than the quest to validate an urban myth, especially one that originated in a seedy Mexican border town? Welcome to "The Donkey Show," set in Juarez, Mexico, a 10 minute walk across the bridge from El Paso, but another world entirely. It's the place where Hemingway reveled at the Kentucky Club Bar, Marilyn Monroe and DiMaggio struck out, and billionaire drug dealer Pablo Escobar spent his last days.

But is Juarez the home of the elusive Donkey Show?
To find out, an adventuresome trio sets out to see if the infamous sideshows still exist, but along the way, they learn much more about themselves. "The Donkey Show" is a serio-comic exploration of the relationships and entanglements of three friends. Loosened by the shadowy but enticing realm of Juarez nightlife, the trio's bond is tested by the pull of foreign enticements.

Can friendships endure when people are stripped of the confines of society? When anything goes down, what comes up? The search for the Donkey Show is an exploration no one could have predicted.
