‘Run for Life’ is a documentary about three Ethiopian athletes that fled from their country to Serbia seeking better life, sport career and Serbian citizenship.

It covers a year and half of their lives spent in Serbia, from the day they arrived until the moment they were forced to leave Serbia. It is also a story of their friendship with the director Mladen Matičević whose perspective and narration are the backbone of the film.
