- Synopsis
- Marathon running allowed Wesley Korir to escape the grinding poverty of Kenya, by winning multiple American marathons, including the cherished Boston Marathon. But he risks it all when he returns home to run for a seat in government as an independent to help his fellow Kenyans against a well-financed, corrupt big-party candidate. The film captures the elusive spiritual energy forged in the intense rigor of long-distance running, an energy Wesley Korir is using to transform himself and the nation.
