Long Distance (2009) -- Abiyot runs for money, every weekend at a different race. He left Ethiopia to try and re-launch his running career in the US. With every aspect of his daily routine centred on his training, his footsteps not only dictate the rhythm of his life, but also become the pervasive rhythm of the film. In phone calls with his family back home, Abiyot tries to convince them and himself, that the running will pay off in the long term... A film about aspiration and endurance in the working class of international athletics.
