What Moves You? Is a new film for runners…
Told from the point-of-view of runners from all walks of life, this documentary film explores the inspiration and motivation behind the almost cult-like following the sport of running enjoys.
The film follows the stories of five very different runners in a quest to discover if they possess a similar intrinsic urge to run. Delving into the very personal reasons behind their compulsion, the film seeks to understand the biological and cultural forces that get people moving.
See the trailer below….
