Budhia Singh: Born To Run
Based on a true story, Budhia Singh: Born To Run is about that world’s youngest marathon runner, Budhia Singh. After traumatic beginnings, Budhia is rescued by the local judo coach, Biranchi Das. Das accidentally discovers his talent for long-distance running. He starts training Budhia to become India’s first and world’s youngest marathon runner. Within a year, the remarkable 5-year-old runs 48 marathons. With the world’s eyes on them, opportunistic war brews between lawyers, child welfare and the state politicians. Is this a tale of an extraordinary talent or a darker one of politics and child exploitation?
