Holy Cowboys

Directed by Varun Chopra

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

Holy Cowboys offers a fascinating, disconcerting look at Indian youth indoctrinated as bovine vigilantes. This observational documentary from Sundance Institute alumnus Varun Chopra goes deep into a world of bigotry and division, where a genuine love for animals and a naive sense of righteousness are weaponised.
