Guor Marial's difficult and triumphant journey from refugee to world-renowned athlete.

Peter Rainer

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

A worthy subject for a film. It's a bit scattershot as a piece of documentary filmmaking... But it's a powerful movie.

Focusing on the journey rather than finish, the documentary runs well as motivating inspiration for many walks-or, make that runs-of life.

A must-see for those who love a good adrenaline rush. Paulson and Allen both give fantastic performances, bringing the film all the way to one of the most cathartic endings this year.

Rated: 4/5
