Born to Be First follows Amina, a determined seventeen-year-old runner from a small Nigerian town, as she competes in the regional track qualifiers that could launch her to the national stage. Haunted and inspired by her grandmother’s lifelong refrain, “You were born to be first”.Amina battles nerves, slick rain-soaked lanes, and a fierce rival with every advantage. A single race becomes a test of grit and identity, proving that being “first” is less about the stopwatch and more about refusing to let anyone define her limits.
