Clown Around Lesotho, a documentary directed by Ballinasloe man Mike Casey and featuring Galway actor Jonathan Gunning, will be broadcast on Monday at 11.30pm on RTÉ 2.
The programme follows a troupe of clowns, volunteers with Clowns Without Borders Ireland, as they travel across the HIV ravaged mountainous Kingdom of Lesotho, performing to thousands of children in hospitals, schools, streets, and mountain sides.
The three clowns - Jonathan Gunning, Bryan Quinn, and Daniela Biancardi - bring a very personal approach to their encounters with the local children and adults and come across several unexpected little adventures.
Clowns Without Borders Ireland is a volunteer organisation that offers laughter to relieve the suffering of all persons, especially children and their carers, who live in areas of crisis, including refugee camps, war zones, and countries in emergency situations.
