Documentary telling the story of Kenyan athlete David Rudisha, the greatest 800m runner the world
has ever seen, and his highly unusual coach, the Irish Catholic missionary Brother Colm O'Connell.
Shot over ten years, the film begins in 2005 when we first meet David as a shy 16-year-old arriving
at a training camp with nothing but a dream of emulating his father's 1968 Olympic silver medal. The
camp is run by the unlikeliest of coaches, missionary and amateur athletics trainer Brother Colm,
who quickly spots his talent. Together they embark on a journey through injury, disappointment and
terror when violence sweeps through the country in the aftermath of the 2008 election, all the way
to the 2012 Olympics and the greatest 800m race the world has ever seen. With unprecedented access
and featuring interviews with Seb Coe and Steve Cram, this is an epic, magical and uplifting tale
that reaches far beyond sport.
