Transcend | Wesley Korir Documentary
AOD FILMS Presents: Transcend
Released in 2014, ‘Transcend’ secured licensing deals with Netflix, ESPN and more. Now that the licenses have expired, we are thrilled to be able to offer this film to audiences for free. It was in the making of this film that Michael, Mark, and Tad first met so without it, there wouldn’t be AOD.
SYNOPSIS:
From the producer of ‘Seabiscuit’ and ‘The Jason Bourne Series’ comes the story of Boston Marathon champion, Wesley Korir who used his running to escape the grinding poverty of Kenya.
But after winning multiple American marathons, he risks it all and returns home to help his fellow Kenyans create better lives for themselves. In what promises to be the most challenging race of his career, Wesley takes on a well-financed, big-party candidate to run for a seat in the Kenyan parliament. attempting to balance the frenzy of campaigning with his return to Boston where he looks to defend his title.
“TRANSCEND is a film about a runner that ends up being about so much more: faith, service, and courage. I was riveted.” Malcolm Gladwell, Best Selling Author

    Its sad when you see how fast strip malls and cookie cutter apartment complexes can be built. If the city cant make money off the taxes, they don't care. (most of the time)

    Kenya is a home of champions. Natural talented people's. He gave very good advise to the school children,s. To be a good student and to be a good runner or athlete. It's Possible that you can change your life. Now a days drugs is a huge problem for the young generation.

    Running long distances consistently on a weekly basis is spiritual. It helps you to know yourself, organise and clear your mind. It basically brings you inner peace and self-confidence.
