Ali Kassem is a runner who began their journey into becoming a marathon runner recently. His work ‘Running $hoe$’ is a short film that gives us an insight into his personal experience and the challenges he faced in the beginning. These challenges include getting used to a new lifestyle, stamina, and cost. However, this film focuses on his shoes since it's based on a true story where his shoes got ripped badly from the back. Yet he kept running barefoot and he noticed that even without shoes he enjoyed running and didn’t even need to have an expensive pair of shoes to run properly and enjoy the experience.
