Born to Run: The Story of Somalian sprinter Samia Yusuf Omar
She was a young Somalian growing up in Mogadishu in the middle of civil war - and all Samia Yusuf Omar wanted to do was become a competitive sprinter.
Samia made it all the way to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, despite cultural opposition to a woman becoming a runner.
The movie 'Samia' is now showing at the Tribeca Festival in New York. Tom Brook is there for 大象传媒 Talking Movies.
