Western Sahara's Champion Athlete

Salah Ameidan was spotted young as a gifted cross-country runner and forced to compete under the Moroccan flag. When he won a major race and waved the Saharawi flag, which is banned in Morocco, he was sent into exile.

In Western Sahara’s Champion Athlete, journalist Nicola Kelly travels to Tindouf as thousands of runners prepare for the Sahara Marathon through the refugee camps, and follows Salah as he is reunited with his family and friends.
