Recommended 7/10 in documentaries from me. I'm trying to figure out when the fun starts. Is it when the guy begins dry heaving and can't hold food or water down for 15 hours, or when the guy has 13 blood blisters on one foot including one the size of a golf ball (close up HD), or when the woman gets raped and they take her back to site of the violent sexual assault so she can finish. I'm trying to imagine that conversation: "hey can some give me a lift back to the place I got raped?"
A true story of amazing human endurance. As a marathoner, completing 4 x 250 km desert marathons in a single year is literally "mind blowing." One of my favorite scenes is this guy who limps in half dead shivering and vomiting. In the interview he speaks of his biggest fear: that his body would simply shut down. That his conscious mind would no longer be able to will him forward. Spoiler alert: at 56 he goes on to be the oldest guy to ever finish.
A special moment is Samantha who is the the youngest woman ever to complete and makes her personal best in the 250 km on Antartica of all places. I would want nothing more than a hot meal and my own bed.
Good doc. Streams free on Netflix. Don't miss it. Hat tip my friend Deb!
