During the 26th Dutch film festival in Utrecht the short movie Go! Go! Go! will be premiered. The première will take place on Friday evening 29th September at 22.00hrs (20.00hrs GMT). The leading role in the movie is played by 28-year-old Kenyan athlete Francis Kibiwott, who ran to a Half Marathon personal best of 60:29 when winning in Remich, Luxembourg, last weekend.
In the movie, Kibiwott is attacked by a group of youths, and in retaliation runs over the top of their car, upon which the group chase him…
The movie (a production of A Million Dreams) is shot in Amsterdam and contains a fragment of the Dam to Dam race 2005, which with more than 30,000 competitors, is the biggest road race in the Netherlands. It is a race which Kibiwott has won twice (2003 and 2006). His winning time this year was a speedy 45:27.
