At the Timorese Resistance Archive and Museum, there was a special screening of the movie "3100: Run and Become" directed by our friend Sanjay Rawal. The movie depicts the world's longest footrace "Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race", founded by Sri Chinmoy, together with 3 other diverse traditions (Japanese monks, Kalahari Sun Bushman, Navajo Nation), highlighting the spiritual aspect of running. The co-makers of the movie are Tanya & Alex Meillier, who also made the documentary about Kirsty Sword Gusmao: "Alias Ruby Blade."
