Excellent Documentary

Filmed in Oakland and Los Angeles CA this film serves as an inspiration to all of us. It provides a unique and intimate perspective into the lives of a group of teens who take on the seemingly insurmountable challenge of becoming marathon runners with little or no running experience prior to this film.

This inspiring story touches something in all of us. It witnesses people rising to face difficult challenges and circumstances in life to overcome and achieve things they thought were not possible. By the end we are left cheering as some achieve their lofty goal.

If you have a chance, you should go see this film.
