A criminal court judge starts a running club on L.A.'s notorious skid row. The club's members, comprised of homeless drug addicts, a recovering single mom and an paroled murderer, consider themselves among those least likely to succeed. As they train together to run in international marathons, they learn to dream big as they are re-acquainted with their own dignity.
纪录片中承载的拯救和希望太多,马拉松能和Skid Row有所联系还是托有钱又具有社会责任感法官的福,这一点值得感恩,但影片完全没有提及默许LA由来已久的失业人口问题甚至只提供公益作为心灵麻醉的避风港的乌托邦假象
奔跑中的治愈和重生,既是一种自我救赎,也是内外连接而成的良性循环。
