Volcanic Sprint, A Film by Steve Dorst and Dan Evans

Volcanic Sprint is an inspirational, true life story of adventure through athletic challenge. I was engrossed and moved by the travails of the local athletes and found myself cheering as they made their way toward the finish line.

Portrayed here is not only the world’s most challenging, even excruciating marathon, but the passion and drama of human need to excel for life's necessities.

Volcanic Sprint is a compelling look into the deep personal stories that unfold through sport. It also brings light to the immense impact competition can have on the lives of people who have very little in the way of material possessions, and how it can bring both hope and devastation when the dry reality of “one champion” works to fulfill the destiny of some and crush the dreams of others. A must see.
