This is why I watch RU-vid and not movies or tv. This is what filmmaking and documentaries are about. Evoking emotion, motivating, telling a story, etc. THANK YOU AOD 🤙🏽

Completely agree

Agreed 👍👍

Sure. But there are plenty of good movie/tv documentary films as well. Doesn’t have to be an either/or situation.

This is phenomenal, as a running fan, all I knew about Kiptoo was a guy who liked to push the pace from the front, and this short doc shows so much more about his life, even alluding to why he goes to the front, making the most out of every opportunity he has. I hope he has a great career ahead of him!

Thank you Wesley for sharing your story. May God bless your running and the dream of supporting your family in Kenya!

@bennywallis1527 4 месяца назад

I think with this attitude to running and community, Wesley will be a fantastic ambassador to the sport. In my eyes, the next Kipchoge.. Maybe not in performance just yet, but the drive to help as many people as he can with enjoying running and also helping people unlock their possible potential. I wish Wesley all the best for his future and running.

yes! Glad to get this one out into the world!

@alekstomson 4 месяца назад

I must say.. this was a really good story about Kiptoo. Stories like this inspire a lot of people not only in Kenya but through out the world. Thanks to producers of this story, and thank you Kiptoo. Who knows, maybe after seeing this story, theres already a new young Kiptoo is running barefoot somewhere in Kenya.

Tell this man to start a RU-vid channel. Running will only bring so much money even at the very top. We would follow his story. Let’s hear it.

God bless you Wesley Kiptoo. If only more Americans were of your mindset, determination, and humbleness.

@tabe5686 4 месяца назад

This makes me realize how good and easy we have it in America. How we oftentimes look at our own situations and feel sorry for ourselves. But looking across the pond, there is real struggle, and somehow they continuously find peace and joy.

@davidleonard37 4 месяца назад

What a beautifully shot and emotional documentary. Love this. Kiptoo is an amazing young man and hasn't been the victim and is trying to uplift his community..and what an amazing community to be a part of. I grew up surrounded by a big family here in Ireland and I understand what that is. I hope the best for this young man and that he has an amazing career. I suspect he will.

@angellosmalefakis1321 4 месяца назад

It is wonderful documentary. So much difference between what he sees in the USA versus life in the villages and tribes in Kenya. But the fact remains that only 1% can make a decent living from running. What people need to recognize is that running is NOT the ONLY way out. It starts with the basics as in education. These Kenyan runners need to give back to their communities. Not in running but in hotels, schools, farming, industry, etc. Not everyone can be a runner. We are all so short sighted. Kenya the country needs to improve also. Stop the corruption. Stop the favoritism. More opportunities for Kenya in industry, travel, development, infrastructure, etc. RUNNING IS NOT THE SOLUTION to Kenya's problems. It is industry and development of hospitals, schools, roads, trains, etc.

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.

Wonderful story! Very similar to a Sports Illustrated story in about 1989 that inspired me to start running and I’ve always wanted to go to the Great Rift Valley. I hope to meet Kiptoo…he’s an inspiration!

The importance of a good story telling. When he "lost" the race foi 1 sec, i was very sad, because of the story and with a "heart" look. But with a analytic look, the winner has a story too.

@heymrguitarman7637 4 месяца назад

Fantastic story. One thing I've noticed about all documentaries I've seen on Kenyan athletes is they all seem to have an innocent and beautiful soul. Such talent but none of it seems to spoil them. Lovely to see in any athlete not just Kenyans but it always appears there in these athletes coming from a very different culture and legacy
