Manchester 24 Hour Run Against Homelessness 2024 Documentary

Runners running on Oxford Road, Manchester

Synopsis

The Manchester 24 Hour Run Against Homelessness raises funds in aid of Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity’s flagship scheme, A Bed Every Night. The filmmaker’s initial approach was slightly judgemental, trying to understand the participants' deeper engagement with the event. However, the organisers’ and runners’ profound responses had transformed the filmmaking journey into an exploratory journey of humanity's multifaceted nature, revealing unexpected layers of resilience and compassion.
