3/5

Undeniably uplifting, even if the string-laden score strains too hard to tweak the tear ducts, this US-made documentary tracks a running group of recovering addicts and paroled convicts who train for marathons together.

Skid Row Marathon is an uplifting experience that doesn't allow sport and competition to overshadow the stories of the runners' lives.

âSkid Row Marathonâ? would be a good movie if it was just about some people on skid row who run marathons, but it is a profound one because of the other race that they are running - on the long road from addiction and despair to redemption and self-respect. If you think that you are better than the people on skid row, this movie will humble you; but if you understand that we are all in this together, it will inspire you.

The most inspiring movie I've ever seen . . . I went from "I'm not a runner" to completing a 1/2 marathon in 4 months . . . And the Skid Row Running Club community is now a treasured part of my life. If you want to know how to make a difference in your community, see this film.

I have seen the film six times and am constantly inspired by its message . How it has not received a distribution deal.is baffling.
