This documentary seeks to
dispel the myth that African Americans are (only) sprinters and
provide role models for aspiring African American runners
by profiling six distance runners, including marathon history makers, one- and two-mile national high school recordholders, trail runners, and ultramarathoners, who run 50 plus-mile races and from LA to NYC.
