LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the award-winning documentary Running For Good: The Fiona Oakes Documentary on September 27, 2024.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Running For Good: The Fiona Oakes Documentary tells the incredible true story of Fiona Oakes, who overcame a disabling physical condition and defied all odds to become a champion ultra-marathon runner. The feature-length documentary reveals Fiona's motivation for winning marathons—raising awareness for animal welfare, supporting over 450 animals in her sanctuary and promoting the health benefits of veganism. The film culminates in chronicling her experience running the Marathon Des Sables. Known as "the toughest footrace on Earth," the competition is a grueling six-day endurance test over 250 km in the Sahara Desert.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Keegan Kuhn, Running For Good: The Fiona Oakes Documentary was shot in a series of spectacular locations, from the Sahara Desert to the North Pole and Antarctica. Ultimately, the film showcases Fiona Oakes's incredible and inspiring fortitude in using her athletic gifts to create a better world for animals.
