Showing tonight at 6.15pm at the Arts Picturehouse:

TOWN OF RUNNERS + Q&A with the director

Synopsis:
The world's best long-distance runners hail from one small town in
Ethiopia. See how they do it!
Long-distance running is a way of life in the Arsi region of Ethiopia.
In a country long associated with poverty, famine and war, world-
record beating athletes are a source of pride.
Many of the world's greatest runners hail from Bekoji, a remote town
in the southern Highlands. In the Beijing Olympics, runners from
Bekoji won all four gold medals in the long-distance track events -
more medals than most industrialised countries.
TOWN OF RUNNERS is a feature documentary about the young athletes born
and raised in Bekoji, who hope to emulate their local heroes and
compete on the world stage. Filmed over three years, the film follows
their fortunes as they move from school track to national competition
and from childhood to adulthood.
