Highly motivational. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Guardian 05/04/2018
3/5
Undeniably uplifting, even if the string-laden score strains too hard to tweak the tear ducts, this US-made documentary tracks a running group of recovering addicts and paroled convicts who train for marathons together. Go to Full Review

Hatti L Oct 4 A unique and one of the best films, each member of the run club that the film focuses on are positively memorable in their own way, and you finish the film wanting to do more in your community.

Centered on the story of 1 judge and the homeless problem in Los Angeles, the filmmakers share with us the power of altruism and the drive of the endurance spirit… and how a simple selfless act can fix a problem that plagues cities across America. You don't have to be a runner to love this film.. just ask, do you care? See more 12/29/2020 What a great documentary! I was fortunate to be invited to the premier in Houston Texas. See more 09/15/2020 I'm a tough cookie but this movie was inspirational. Nicely understated, not too long, just told the story of a running judge and the people who helps. This movie should have made a bigger splash. See more 11/06/2019 Documentary about inmates running 10 out of 10 definitely not click bait See more Read all reviews
