Blisters for Blighty: The Curious World of Race Walking (2013)
“Isn’t a race to see who can walk the quickest like a contest to see who can whisper the loudest?”  This off-air indiscretion was asked by NBC’s Bob Costas,  the acknowledged doyen of sports pundits.

Race Walkers are much-maligned, and their sport is often ridiculed.  Is this bullying fair?  We thought not.  This film is for the misunderstood in all walks of life... it just happens to be about those who walk... very quickly!

BLISTERS FOR BLIGHTY: The Curious World of Race Walking might just do for athletics what Spinal Tap did for heavy metal.
