<p>Demoralized by his job and dissatisfied with his life, Mark punches the clock with increasing indifference. He wanted to help people; he’d always believed that as social worker he would be able to make a difference in people’s lives. But after six years of bureaucracy and pushing paper Mark has lost hope.</p><p>All that changes when he meets Bumi, an Indonesian restaurant worker. Moved from his small fishing village and sent to a residential school under the authoritarian Suharto regime, Bumi’s radical genius and obsessive-compulsive disorder raise suspicion among his paranoid neighbours. When several local children die mysteriously the neighbours fear reaches a fevered pitch and Bumi is forced to flee to Canada. </p><p>Brought together by a chance encounter on the subway, Mark and Bumi develop a friendship that forces them to confront their pasts. Moving gracefully between Canada and Indonesia and through the two men’s histories, <em>Drive-by Saviours</em> is the story of desire and connection among lonely people adrift in a crowded world.</p><p><a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coq1kyzuy-g'>Drive-by Saviours Trailer on YouTube</a></p><p><a href='http://www.myspace.com/chrisbenjaminwrites'>Drive-by Saviours on MySpace</a></p><p><a href='http://www.chrisbenjaminwriting.com/'>Chris Benjamin’s website</a></p><p><a href='http://www.facebook.com/drivebysaviours'>Drive-by Saviours on Facebook</a></p>
