Catch The Finishers (De Toutes Nos Forces) at the French Art & Film Festival 2015



Running is our passion and so is movie-watching. We were very excited to find De Toutes Nos Forces (The Finisher) listed as one of the many exciting movies that will be featured in the coming French Art & Film Festival 2015.

Although is not a 100% movie about running per se, we would recommend you, running enthusiasts to watch it. It tells the inspiring take of a wheelchair-bound young man, Julien who challenges his father to compete with him in the "Ironman" triathlon.

Such passionate, emotional and dramatic movie should be enjoyed on a big screen, not as illegal download. :)
