Summary
"Nina is 18 in the mid-1990s. She's trying to find her place in a world constantly throwing her differences back at her face. Nina was born in a multi-culltural and multi-ethnic family: her father is black Muslim of Gambian origins and her mother is of Polish-Jewish descent. But Nina will turn her differences into strength as she embraces track and field. She runs, not to escape reality, but to be the champion of her own life" --
