The inspirational biopic "Running Brave" will be screened at the Egyptian Theater at 6:00pm. Following a brief intermission, Mills will engage in a question and answer session with the public.
Admission is free.

I took this photo (below) at the 2017 US National Track and Field Championships in Sacramento. Paul Chelimo stands atop the victory stand as the winner of the men's 5,000m. Billy Mills is in the foreground having just presented the medalists with their honors.
