“Buddies”

“Buddies”

Last Friday, our students have been watching a documentary film “Buddies” (“Kumple”) and having a meeting with Joanna Kaczmarek, film’s director and Ryszard Sawa, a blind marathoner featured in the film.

“BUDDIES” (“KUMPLE”)
Documentary film

Close your eyes and try to take a few steps. Now, close your eyes and try to run 42 kilometers! Impossible? Ryszard Sawa, the blind marathoner of the documentary film “Buddies”, proves that the impossible is possible, with over 100 marathons completed in total darkness. When running, Rysiek needs his guide Felek next to him. All those hours, spent together, have brought them close. “Buddies” is a story about running, friendship and the appreciation of life. The film breaks down stereotypes and redefines the way we think of disabilities and body limitations.
