Runner

Synopsis

Runner takes its audience as close as possible to the mental and physical experience of running a marathon through sound and the moving image. Using material from the 'Great North Run' in England and combining this with specially shot sequences of a single runner, it follows the journey of a man, one soul in the flood of 50,000.
