Great documentary!

Great story, very inspiring, well told and extremely entertaining! This is not your usual running/program film, it's a character driven story with turns and a lot of excitement. All the kids and the adults in this story are inspiring and the way their problems and guidance is showed is very compelling and dramatic. It's all very real and you'll never feel manipulated, the photography very raw and you get to know the students quite close. I've never run before and I was so taken by the story that I felt like doing a marathon right after it. I was hooked from the very start to the last frame. If you have the opportunity to see this movie, go for it.
