Two Feet to Fly: Amateur Heroes

Simple things and people are often forgotten. It’s my pleasure to shed some light and inspire few people to healthier life. Vishwanathan Jayaraman, Jegadheesan M, Sayuri Dalvi, Raghavendra Satish Peri, Harishankar Krishnaswami and Nandita Chakraborty are such heroes.

“Two Feet to Fly” is a short documentary about the inspiring lives of these six amateur runners who found freedom from the depths of their affliction. It celebrates their journey and the unique power that running has given them. It is a testament to the power that running can bring to one’s life. The runners from across India who have overcome various issues – health complications, obesity, smoking, blindness, poverty, personal tragedy – and have come out stronger. The film seeks to inspire more people to take up running to experience the sheer joy that life is. “Two Feet To Fly” follows 6 runners: Vishwanathan Jayaraman – a runner in his 60s who kicked a smoking addiction, and went on to run a marathon a day for a whole year; Jegadheesan M – a runner who escaped the confines of a humble background to win the Men’s Open category at the 2014 SCMM; Sayuri Dalvi – a Mumbai-based runner and mother who emerged triumphant over personal turmoil; Raghavendra Satish Peri – a visually impaired runner who undaunted with a sighted runner; Harishankar Krishnaswami – who embarked on his running journey for weight loss, only to emerge with a complete physical transformation; and Nandita Chakraborty – a Delhi runner bravely battling sarcoidosis, a chronic condition.
