Sympathetic, sporadically endearing documentary that tells the story of the Kenyan athlete Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworor, the world champion in the half marathon, and the road he takes to his debut at the Berlin Marathon in 2012. Especially the images from the project, which was realized with few resources. training camp are fascinating. It's also nice to see the Dutch supporting and financing the Kenyans in the background.

I find running an interesting subject anyway, and this documentary gives a nice insight into the world - and especially how things work for Kenyan top runners. Nice to see the combination of the Kenyan running culture and local training there with Dutch guidance. It's not very in depth and I don't think I learned much or was really moved, but for a good hour it was great entertainment.
