The Runway
'The Runway' is inspired by the true story of a South American pilot who had a bumpy landing near Mallow, Co. Cork in 1983. Against all odds, the people of the town came together to build a runway to get him home and briefly caught the imagination of the nation.
It is the story of Paco, a young boy without a father who adopts the pilot and convinces the town to build a runway to get him home.
