Good documentary about overcoming adversity

This good documentary follows several participants in the Sadler's Ultra Challenge 267 miles wheel chair race from Fairbanks to Alaska. It goes on to follow two participants in the Olympic games in Beijing.

Although I am not disabled I have done some long distance athletic events and found myself relating to the challenges faced by these men and women in preparing for and doing what ends up as much or more a mental challenge as a physical one.

Interviews with the men doing the race give insight into them as people and how they live their lives with optimism and dedication. I was inspired by hearing their stories. Beyond the athletic challenges, we learn about overcoming difficulties in life in a way that transcends disability.

Well worth watching.
