'Why I Run' (Short Film in association with Nike UK)

  • Shrai Popat
My short film focusing on BAME runners in the UK, and their motivations for running in modern day Britain has been commissioned by Nike UK. Released in October 2017:
'What does it mean to be both a person of colour and have a host of ambitions? How much compromise is involved, and how do you manage the daily challenge of being underestimated and in many instances, disregarded. How does running and freeing your body, help you, calm you, or even inspire you to keep pushing?'
