NorCal folks--Great movie

“Runners High” – documentary about the Students Run Oakland program. We went last night to the premier and it’s a very inspirational film. Anyone who has run any time at all around here will recognize Coach Alphonzo. He, the directors, the ED of SROakland and the main kids from the film were there and answered questions afterwards. Hopefully they will get a distribution deal and everyone can add it to their Netfix list!

A few more chances to see it in SF and in Canada.

Wow, that movie looks fantastic! I just watched the trailer. The great thing is I’m arriving in the Bay Area for a short trip on May 2nd which is the last night it’s showing so I can catch it!

Thanks for posting about it Cathy. I never would have known otherwise!
