Run Like We

Synopsis

It’s the 2012 London Olympics and the whole world is going crazy for the fastest man on the planet: Usain Bolt. Everyone apart from Alvin, an awkward 14 year-old who hates sports and constantly disappoints his Jamaican father, Lester, an ex-athlete who can’t understand why his son is “so soft”. So when Alvin is unexpectedly nominated to represent his class in the upcoming school sports day, it could be his last chance to make his dad proud and prove that he can be just like Bolt.

Four British lads on a stag holiday in southern Italy enjoy a weekend of drunken debauchery. Jonah, the groom-to-be, a successful black man in his 20s, spends the last day of his trip alongside his white friends who are desperate for him to have an "authentic" stag experience - whether he wants to or not.
