Filmmaker Bill Gallagher brings us this staggering documentary about the unbelievable story of Guor Mading Maker, who escaped war and slavery in Sudan to America where he was noticed by his high school track coach and went on to become an Olympic distance runner. Gallagher deftly weaves together interviews, archive news reports on war and famine in Sudan, animation and footage from Maker’s US high school days. This is an inspiring story of the human spirit and Maker is a captivating, modest individual who triumphs over adversity – lots to love in this unforgettable doc.

After the show, we are joined by world record breaker Ian Bailey, who in September 2020 set a new record for ‘Everesting’ by running up and down Slieve Donard until he reached the height of Everest, 8,848m. The Kilcoo man will talk about his amazing achievement and his passion for running. This is one for anyone with an interest in running whether the couch to 5K or ultramarathons.
