Former Irish athlete and 5,000m world champion Eamonn Coghlan travels to
Kenya's highlands to uncover a little-known story - the role of Irish
missionaries in securing Kenya's dominance in world athletics. He meets Brother
Colm O'Connell, a modest priest who played a major role in fostering Kenyan
distance running and who is now considered one of the world's top athletics
coaches. Watching him train the 800m world-record holder David Rudisha, Eamonn
observes at first-hand his unlikely but lasting legacy. Part travelogue, part
tribute, the documentary also features an interview with Eamonn's childhood
hero, the great Olympic athlete Kip Keino.
