This very special episode brings together the full crew behind Iraq 100—a bold, beautiful, and timely endurance project retracing the steps of refugee journeys through Northern Iraq. It’s the first time this diverse team has gathered on a call, and the energy is undeniable.
Host Tim Buxton is joined by filmmaker Kitali Wilson, ultra-runner and coach Mario Buchs, storyteller and humanitarian Matt Willingham, media producer Ihsan, and crew member Troy, each bringing unique passion and purpose to this mission.
Together, they unpack the heart behind Iraq 100: a 100-mile run symbolizing the courage of those forced to flee, and the power of storytelling to humanize conflict and inspire compassion. From frontline realities to hopeful vision, this conversation is rich with purpose, camaraderie, and collective courage.
