"We wanted to tell the story about the opportunity that running gave these kids, how they used their resources and where it took them."<br /><br />"Run to the East," an 87-minute Moxie Pictures documentary, is the film Lu and Jess hoped would show the world the contemporary life of a Native American but also how "a pocket of hope lies in the sport of running."<br /><br />The film features three Native runners, products of poverty-stricken communities, and how they were able to break through a glass ceiling in the sport of running to earn scholarships to attend college.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.com
