'The Run'

The release of ‘The Run’, is the eighth fostering awareness film produced by award-winning producers ReelTwentyFive. What started as a small local project in the Midlands is now a major nationwide campaign, involving over 90 local authority fostering services, project managed by CAN Digital. ‘The Run’ is set to be the most ambitious jointly funded fostering film project yet.

The film focuses on Tom, an 11-year-old boy, contrasting his need to run - away from danger, a chaotic home life, to get to school in time for breakfast club because he’s hungry - with running as a sport.

Despite the disadvantages Tom faces before being fostered - not even having PE kit for school - he’s good at running and the film climaxes with Tom taking part in an athletics tournament, running in a stadium, with the support of his new foster family.  

It’s Tom’s chance to shine. Can Tom win his race? On the track and in his life?
