Plot

Sprinter tells the story of Akeem Sharp who is set to be Jamaica's next big track-and-field sensation. Akeem hopes to rise in the track and field world will take him to the U.S. to reunite him with his mother who has supported the family while living as an illegal resident for over a decade.

Sinekatalog’s take

A heartfelt sports drama about a young runner torn between talent, family pressure and a distant mother. The energy of the track scenes and the warm home life give it appeal. A good fit for fans of uplifting, family-minded sports stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
