Town of Runners
Date Location
(3 stars) A pretty and thoughtful documentary about the tiny town of Bekoji in Ethiopia, which has produced an astonishing number of champion long-distance runners. Frustratingly, it hedges its bets as to whether it’s about Africa’s situation or just the hard knocks dealt by a sporting life, but what's singularly impressive is the interview footage with the young trainee runners, which achieves intimacy without condescension, and captures both heartrending hopefulness and sad self-delusion.
