PLOT
Gemma Atwal’s dynamic epic follows four-year-old Budhia, rescued from poverty
by Biranchi Das, a larger-than-life judo coach and operator of an
orphanage for slum children in the eastern Indian state of Orissa. When
Budhia displays an uncommon talent for long-distance running, Biranchi
nurtures his gift, heralding him as a folk hero for the impoverished
masses, and maybe even for India itself. But after golden child Budhia
breaks down during a world-record 65 kilometer run at the age of four,
public opinion begins to turn on the guru
and his disciple, and soon the two are swept up in a maelstrom of media
controversy and political scandal. Following Budhia’s roller-coaster
journey over five years, Marathon Boy is a Dickensian tale of greed,
corruption, and broken dreams set between the heart-racing world of
marathon running, the poverty-stricken slums, and the political intrigue of a modernizing India
