"Runner" tells the remarkable story of Guor Mading Maker, who escaped war-torn Sudan as a child and discovered a passion for running in his new home in the US. Against all odds, Maker became a track and field sensation and qualified for the 2012 Olympics, but his journey was not without challenges. With the newly formed South Sudan not recognized by the International Olympic Committee, Maker had to fight to compete independently, refusing to run for Sudan and taking a stand against its oppression. Through intimate interviews and beautifully animated flashbacks, "Runner" chronicles Maker's journey from refugee to world-renowned athlete, culminating in a heart-wrenching reunion with his parents after a 20-year separation. It's a truly inspirational tale of the indomitable human spirit.
