An inspiring documentary
This is a documentary about pushing your limits and never giving up. It follows the lives of untraditional people (at least in the world of sports) for 3 days and really gets you to care about their journey. You root for these people to accomplish this crazy marathon, not because of the marathon in itself, but because of the accomplishment it represents for them!
This is a wry documentary of a “gruelling race against the clock and nature”
Tennessee is the location, the backwoods are the course, and time is the enemy. Footage is a fantastic documentary of what people can or cannot endure. The organizer is hilariously wry, the camera work is great, and there is no aspect that suggests this to be staged” like so much reality survival footage.The film includes background re. how and why the race began, its history, and personal asides The modicum of foul language further clarifies this as a true presentation.
I would love to be chosen for such a race yet know that if I even made it through the first five miles, I would have to buck up to walk five miles to to get back the where I started: even that would be victory for me.
Hats off and Hurrahs for all involved in this film.
