Boy Who Can't Stop Running, The

image

This is the incredible story of Budhia Singh - a four-year-old boy who is hoping to become the youngest endurance runner in the world.

Budhia's life has already been an epic struggle for survival. Driven by despair, Budhia's mother sold him to a peddlar for $20. Biranchi Das, a local judo coach, took pity on her plight and bought Budhia back. He decided to adopt him, and for the first time in his life Budhia was getting regular meals. It was then that he discovered Budhia's remarkable ability by chance and decided to train him as a marathon runner...



But is this the tale of an extraordinary talent, or a darker one of child exploitation… of Budhia doing his body damage as he runs into the record books?



This is the story of Budhia Singh. The boy who can’t stop running.
