My Run

Movie inspired by the documentary My Run from 2009 After tragically losing his wife to breast cancer and struggling to raise three young children on his own, real life super hero and modern day Forrest Gump, Terry Hitchcock seized on an idea. He wanted to accomplish the impossible: run 75 consecutive marathons in 75 consecutive days to bring attention to the incredibly difficult lives of single-parent families. He ran in spite of freezing rain and unbearable heat, in spite of chest pains and bone fractures that wracked his 57-year-old body. He just kept running - each day, every day - strengthening an unbreakable bond between father and son--- not stopping until he broke the finish line tape in Atlanta. MY RUN is more than a film about a guy running multiple marathons; it's a film about the daily marathons we all run in life. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1041659/plotsummary?item=ps0263602

One World

"One World" tells the inspiring story of failed presidential candidate Wendell Willkie and his extraordinary activism as an author and war mediator between 1940 and 1944. The film begins with Willkie's defeat in the 1940 presidential elections against Franklin D. Roosevelt. Despite the disappointment, Willkie decides not to abandon his political career but to establish himself as a voice of change. He publishes his groundbreaking book "One World," advocating for international cooperation and the creation of a global order. The film depicts Willkie's passionate activism as he travels across America, inspiring people from all walks of life to embrace his vision of unity and peace. He fights against isolationism and for a stronger international presence for the United States. During World War II, Willkie becomes a significant war mediator. He travels to Europe and meets with heads of state and prominent figures to advocate for diplomatic solutions and a collective effort in the fight against fascism. His mediation efforts help prepare for the establishment of the United Nations and lay the foundation for long-term global cooperation. The film concludes with Willkie's legacy as a visionary and his influence on the post-war order, shaped by his ideas of unity and cooperation. "One World" is a moving tribute to a man who, despite political setbacks, changed the world and whose visions remain relevant today
