Description

The Fastest Boy in the World is an inspiring story about a young Ethiopian runner with a big heart. Solomon loves to run and dreams of becoming a gold-medal winner like his heroes, despite his humble beginnings.

When Solomon's grandfather announces that he'll take him on a trip to Addis Ababa, Solomon's joy increases as he learns the Ethiopian running team will be doing a victory parade through the city. However, his grandfather has other plans, revealing a surprising secret about his past.

As Solomon faces a daunting challenge to save his grandfather's life by completing a 20-mile run from the city to home, he must draw on his courage and determination to overcome his fears and achieve the impossible.
