Terry Fox documentary premieres at Toronto International Film Festival
The 180-minute film includes unseen footage and follows Fox’s 140-day, 5,000-kilometre Marathon of Hope, his brother said.
- On Saturday, the Toronto International Film Festival screened 'Run Terry Run,' a new documentary featuring unseen footage of Terry Fox, with executive producer Darrell Fox in attendance.
- The film chronicles Fox's journey as a 21-year-old amputee who ran a marathon every day for 140 days, spanning more than 5,000 kilometres across Canada beginning in 1980 to raise cancer research funds.
- Darrell Fox, who co-produced the 180-minute documentary, reflected on the TIFF red carpet: "I haven't forgotten that run," adding, "It's impossible, you know, and I cherish those memories of spending 93 days in a row with him."
- Canadian Paralympic ice hockey player Billy Bridges attended with more than a dozen other Olympians, stating: "As a disabled Canadian, growing up, our heroes were few and far between," highlighting Fox's profound impact on Canadian athletes.
- The premiere coincides with the annual Terry Fox Run taking place across Canada today, Sept. 20, continuing the athlete's legacy of cancer research support decades after the original Marathon of Hope.
