Storyline:

Mohammad Azmi, a 55-year-old former contractor, has dedicated his life to rescue stray dogs and cats, despite living in a country where dogs, especially, are considered taboo, filthy and un- Islamic. The Muslims who care for dogs are usually frowned upon, let alone touch and feed them.

However for Mohammad Azmi, who is fondly known as Pak Mie, his love for these animals is unconditional, as he, with the help from his wife, splurge their savings on the stray animals by providing a shelf, food and medication on daily basis, apart getting donations from related citizens. To date, he has rescued more than a whopping 600 stray animals, a figure that no other licensed shelters have ever accommodated.

This also means that they have to lead a simple life; so simple that they sleep in the car parked outside the shelter that they built just to make sure that no one harms the animals during the night.

Pak Mie's activity has however appealed the attention from the local council, which in the other hand, usually resorts to killing the strays instead of putting them at animal shelters.

Although Pak Mie knows that he will never get anything in return by sacrificing his normal life, he is hopeful that he will continue to do so until his last breath.

A Stray Hero (A Street Hero)

Filmed using the Canon 5D Mark III. For post-production I used Adobe Premiere CS6 for video editing.

Plot:

Mohammad Azmi, a 55-year-old former contractor, has dedicated his life to rescuing lost dogs and cats despite living in a city where dogs, especially, are considered taboo, unclean and anti-Islamic. Muslims who care about dogs are especially unseen and much more those who touch and feed them.

However, for Mohammad Azmi, who is affectionately known as Pak Mie, his love for these animals is incoditional, as he, with the help of his wife, spend their savings on stray animals providing them with shelter, food and medicine as daily necessities, and they also get donations from conscientious citizens. To date, it has rescued a whopping 600 lost animals, a figure that other licensed shelters have not managed to match.

This means that they have to lead a simple life; so basic that they sleep in the car parked outside the shelter that they themselves built to ensure that no one hurts the animals during the night.

However, Pak Mie's activity attracted the attention of the Local Council, which, on the other hand, resorted to sacrificing street carriers instead of handing them over to animal shelters.

Although Park Mie knows he will never get anything in exchange for sacrificing his life for them, he hopes to continue doing so until his last breath.
