Memorable, crazy movie
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This was a great documentary, but a sad one. The film documents the pressure of young boys and girls who feel their only chance for a better life comes with making it on the national team for their country. In many ways, I felt the sense of desperation for the families in holding high hopes that something will come out of the many sacrifices made to have more opportunity. Many to most of the runners recruited are severally taken advantage of and once they do make it to the team, it comes with more costs that may include a lot of extortion, corruption, and unfulfilled promises by those who are there to "help" and "manage" their careers, as evidenced by numerous news stories about Olympic runners once they return home. There could easily be another film as a series to this story. In the very least, it opens up the struggle to get where they are and illustrations the immense sacrifice and struggle to make a better life for themselves and their families.
