This intimate and inspiring portrait from veteran filmmaker Sean Menard (TIFF ’17’s The Carter Effect) reveals the vulnerable human being behind the great Canadian icon. Drawing upon never-before-seen footage, Run Terry Run walks us through the arduous process and profound commitment that fostered Terry Fox’s magisterial Marathon of Hope.

The material the Fox family entrusted to Menard allows us to really get to know this charming, philosophical, good-humoured hero. Illness robbed Fox of many aspects of his youth but, in return, it gave him preternatural wisdom – and a vision of what it takes to enact real change. In an era marked by stark divisions, Fox’s activism continues to unite us with that most durable of all resources: hope.
