Synopsis
In the Olympic marathon from Rome 1960, Ethiopian Abebe Bikila conquered the African continent’s first gold medal, running barefoot and becoming a sporting legend and a symbol of the Africa that was freeing itself of colonialism. The directors have recontextualised this amidst Rome’s rationalist architecture as a new race involving refugees and immigrants staking a claim to FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT.
