A woman, a political prisoner in Iran, convinces her husband to help a girl who was blinded during a protest to train for the Paris marathon. The training brings the two runners so close that, after completing the race, they consider the idea of escaping the country and reaching England by crossing the Channel Tunnel. Loosely inspired by and deeply dedicated to the story of journalist Niloofar Hamedi, the first to report the beating that led to Mahsa Amini’s death, “Blind Runner” intertwines political and personal narratives, seamlessly transitioning between video and stage in sixty minutes of breathtaking storytelling.
