Continue the work of Massimiliano Monteforte for the project THOROUGHBREDS between Kenya and Italy. It’s a story in which running, fatigue, doping and loyalty cross and chase each other. The short film did by Monteforte is the story of a young man who her girlfriend says “you’re 30 years old, but when you grow up and I’m here to bear your anxieties and your paranoia but when you grow up.” In the following scenes we see the athlete that “to grow” begins to take pills. It’s a story that compares two different ways of live sports, one based on the choice of shortcuts and one based on fatigue. The story tells in a realistic way what it happens at those runners that choose to use of doping. The runners have to choose to be a thoroughbreds (free to realize their futures or a cricets running in the doping cage. There is not only the short film but also a project between Italy and Kenya, in Africa it will be opened a university at 2000m to allow many young people to run and study to have a better future.
