When we were first asked by Micah True to make a documentary film about his life and running with the Tarahumara in the Copper Canyon, we pledged to make a difference by giving something back to the local community. This film would not be possible without the inspiration and beauty of the Copper Canyon environment, including most of all the people who live there. We are proud to support the not-for-profit Norawas de Rarámuri that was founded by the international runners of the Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon. Their mission is “to provide maize, non-GMO seed corn, and cash awards for participating Rarámuri runners, men and women alike. In this way we offer both nutrition during drought and support for a tradition of small farms necessary to both physical and cultural survival.”
