"Runn"
Fred Media/ Radar confirmed that their title, "Runn – The Nedd Brockmann Documentary," is being made available on Netflix Australia and New Zealand. Produced by WildBear Entertainment and Bursty Company and launched to the international market by Fred Media and Radar during MIPCOM 2024, the one-hour documentary will be available to stream on Netflix Australia and New Zealand from February 10th. It originally aired on Fox Sports Australia.
"Runn – The Nedd Brockmann Documentary" tells the incredible story of a quintessential Aussie bloke with a wicked sense of humor who embarks on a daring and unprecedented mission. Motivated by deep empathy for the homelessness crisis gripping his nation and keen to highlight the problem, electrician Nedd sets off on a solo 4,000km run across the vast continent. His extraordinary adventure succeeded in capturing the hearts and minds of everyday Australians – as well as celebrities like Lily James, Hamish Blake, and Ash Barty – drawn not just to the physical challenge but to Nedd’s infectious spirit and unwavering dedication to his cause. Nedd’s epic run raised millions for the homeless and made him a cult hero.
Jimmy Elkington, head of sales at Fred Media referred to the inspirational background: "Runn' is a truly memorable documentary that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible, so we are thrilled that Netflix Australia and New Zealand will be offering the title to its subscribers. The film paints a heartfelt and compelling picture of one man’s quest to make a difference, weaving elements of humor, determination, and profound humanity into its narrative. Set against the backdrop of the vast expanse of the Australian landscape, it succeeds in being an uplifting, entertaining, and moving watch, showing how an individual’s unwavering resolve can ignite a movement and bring about transformative change. We look forward to seeing the response on Netflix, confident that 'Runn' will appeal to a broad audience," commented.
Finally, "Runn’s" director, Serge Ou from WildBear Entertainment, recently won a 2024 Australian Directors Guild Award for Best Direction of a Documentary Series Episode or One-Off for his work on the film.
