The home of champions

Documentary

2025

Synopsis:

Anyone who knows anything about running knows that the world’s strongest runners come mostly from Kenya, but few know that all these champions train in the same village, lost in the Kenyan hinterland and the surrounding plateau, it’s called Iten.

Running in Kenya is more than just a sporting competition; it is an escape from poverty, a form of cultural expression and an opportunity to transform lives through discipline and sacrifice.
