First film sounds an awful lot like “Running to America,” which aired on the ABC in 2011 (I think?)

It was about Rob de Castella coaching Aboriginal kids from the outback to run the NY Marathon.

Including Charlie Maher.

Same film?

Great stuff, QANTAS. The world’s largest short film festival not only nurtures future stars it’s such a fantastic demand driver tourist attraction, leveraging the economic power of “related variety”. Well done making this investment.
