We follow him as he journeys through his village, down winding paths bordered with lush green forests, greeting each neighbour as he passes, until he climbs up a large mountain to the tallest point where he looks down over his small village with a sense of awe and freedom. While shopping for Eid clothes with his parents, he sets his heart on a pair of expensive shoes beyond what his father can afford. From this moment on it is as if nothing else matters, he prays for the shoes, dreams about the shoes, he can\u2019t eat or sleep. The film then captures this emotion by transporting the audience into his dream through the magic of animation.\n\n\n\n\u201cTown of Runners\u201d\n\nJerry Rothwell | UK\/Ethiopia 2011 | 52 mins | (15) | Documentary\n\nTown Of Runners is a feature documentary about Africa in Motion Town of Runners 350young people from the Ethiopian rural town of Bekoji, whose runners have won 8 Olympic Gold medals, 32 World Championships and broken 10 world records in the last 20 years.
