520 Based on a remarkable true story, an unforgettable Somali
girl risks her life on the migrant journey to Europe to
run in the Olympic Games At eight years of age, Samia
lives to run. She shares her dream with her best friend
and neighbor, Ali, who appoints himself her "professional
coach." Eight-year-old Ali trains her, times her, and
pushes her to achieve her goals. For both children,
Samia's running is the bright spot in their tumultuous
life in Somalia. She is talented, brave, and determined to
represent her country in the Olympic Games, just like her
hero, the great Somali runner Mo Farah. For the next
several years, Samia and Ali train at night in a deserted
stadium as war rages and political tensions continue to
escalate. Despite the lack of resources, despite the war,
and despite all of the restrictions imposed on Somali
women, Samia becomes a world-class runner. As a teenager,
she is selected to represent her country at the 2008
Beijing Olympics. She finishes last in her heat at the
Games, but the sight of the small, skinny woman in modest
clothes running in the dust of athletes like Veronica
Campbell-Brown brings the Olympic stadium to its feet.
Samia sets her sights on the 2012 Games in London.
Conditions in Somalia have worsened, and she must make the
arduous migrant journey across Africa and the
Mediterranean alone. Just like millions of refugees, Samia
risks her life for the hope of a better future.
