Synopsis

The plot centers on the 3100-mile race in New York City, and also follows Ashprihanal Aalto, a Finnish courier, and Shamita, an Austrian cellist. The film captures the esoteric, spiritual side of running.[3] The film features such diverse locales as New York, to places around the world where ancient cultures have held running sacred, such as the forests of Finland, mountains of Japan, the Kalahari Desert in Africa and the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona. It also features the stories of three other runners–Shaun Martin, a Navajo runner and Board Member of Wings of America, Gaolo of the San Bushmen of the Kalahari, and Gyoman-san of the Monks of Mt. Hiei, Japan.[1]

Reception

Steve Prokopy from the Third Coast Review found the film “intriguing, and an eye-opening look at a way of living most of us will never understand.” After viewing the movie, runners themselves “become more interested in learning more about the role that running plays in different cultures.” Broadway World describes the film as having shone a “light on the universality of the run as an enduring pathway to enlightenment,”while the Santa Fe Reporter appreciated its cultural diversity.[6]
