What is "Donkey Flight"?
"Donkey Flight" is a term used to describe the illegal practice of smuggling people into a country using false documents or passports. The term is believed to have originated in the 1980s, when Indian immigrants were smuggled into the United Kingdom using fake UK passports.
The term "Donkey Flight" is said to have come from the fact that the smugglers often treated the immigrants they were smuggling like donkeys, cramming them into small, cramped spaces and providing them with little food or water.
The Story of Dunki Film
The story of Dunki is inspired by the real-life experiences of many Indians who have tried to migrate to England illegally. In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of Indians trying to enter the UK illegally, and many of them have ended up in dire situations.
In 2011, for example, 39 Indian immigrants were found dead in a refrigerated truck in Essex, England. They had suffocated to death after being locked inside the truck for several days.
The story of Dunki is a reminder of the dangers of illegal immigration and the human cost of trying to achieve a better life.
Themes of Dunki
Dunki is said to explore themes of friendship, hope, and the pursuit of a better life. The film is also expected to touch on the issue of illegal immigration and the challenges faced by immigrants.
