Run Woman Run is a feel-good anti-rom-com about a woman who has to tackle the ghosts of her past before she can run toward a new future. Beck, a single mom, lives in Six Nations, Canada.

After her mother’s death, she abandons her dream of becoming a Mohawk language teacher, and an unhealthy lifestyle leads to a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. The ghost of legendary marathon runner, Tom Longboat appears to her. He teaches Beck to become an honor runner, dedicating each run to an aspect of creation or a special person in her life. With Tom’s help, Beck is able to turn her life around.

Filmmaker Zoe Leigh Hopkins in attendance. This special presentation is one event of two co-presented with the Directors Guild of Canada that celebrates the film and television work of acclaimed filmmaker, Zoe Hopkins. Hans Engel, Director of the National Directors Division of the DGC will introduce this screening.
