Co-directed by JM Harper and Hector Aponysus through Park Pictures, this uplifting and emotional documentary for athletics brand On captures refugee runner Dominic Lobalu’s journey from war-torn South Sudan to sports stardom.
Shot on location in Lobalu’s hometown of St. Gallen, Switzerland, and in Rome, the film, titled To Chase a Dream, chronicles the developments, setbacks, and ultimate climax of his story through a mix of personal and professional moments.
The directors mix archive and live competition footage with intimate interviews to capture Lobalu’s ambition, drive, charm, and humility as he approaches the pinnacle of his sporting dreams - competing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The nine-minute film is the final episode of On’s Olympic short film trilogy Dream Together.
