The Great Ethiopian Run – Beyond the Finish Line is a powerful documentary that goes beyond the excitement of Africa’s biggest road race to reveal the life-saving impact of humanitarian aid in Ethiopia. Through the voices of runners, aid workers, and local communities, the film highlights how international support has provided critical resources, from healthcare to food security. However, with USAID and U.S. foreign aid now cut off, the future of these essential programs hangs in the balance, putting countless lives at risk. This documentary serves as a vital reminder of what is at stake and the urgent need for continued global support.
