Freedom to Run presents Freedom to Run Film Screening and Filmmaker Q&A

A documentary film about life under occupation

Palestinians in the West Bank cannot move more than 10 kilometres without being stopped by Israeli restrictions.

Checkpoints, demands for permits, and the apartheid wall surrounding the occupied territories, are part of the struggle of daily life.

‘Freedom to Run’ follows two groups of runners, one from Right to Movement in Palestine, and one from Scotland. The two groups of runners support each other as they run both the Palestine and Edinburgh Marathons and on this journey, the runners discover they are not so different, but they live very different lives.

Duration 120  mins. 

The film screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the filmmakers.
