Brandon Summers, a quick talking 18-year-old, dreams of winning the Rio Olympics 100 metres in a time faster than any man in history. But a prejudiced public, his criminal past, and Charles Dent, the king of world sprinting, stand in his way.
To all observers Brandon is just another wayward kid on Newcastle’s streets with one foot inside a prison cell. However, when Brandon strikes up an unlikely friendship with George, a sixty-year-old alcoholic former boxer, George sets about coaching him all the way to Olympic stardom. But talent can only carry you so far, as Brandon must fight to cut through social prejudice and escape the shadow of a dangerous stand-over man intent on revenge, as he chases his dream and the love of the local police chief’s daughter. While George, battling his own demons, wants only to live long enough to see his young friend win gold in the biggest sporting event on the planet.
Run Baby Run explores the power of staying strong in the face of adversity, as Brandon discovers he has the ability to inspire an entire nation to believe. The Olympic 100 metres - it is not just sport, it is a love story in 9 and a bit seconds.
