Yesterday I was sent the link to this beautiful trailer for a documentary film entitled Run To The East. The movie documents three Native American high school students living in New Mexico who are using their running abilities as a means of improving their lives by earning a scholarship to college. The film will also explore the impact of running, which has been ingrained in Native American culture for centuries, on the lives of these young men and women, as they struggle to grow up in a challenging environment.
This looks like quite a film, with a great story to tell, and definitely something that will appeal to the runners out there.

Great message. I coached for years. When an athlete pushes through the pain and pushes his or her limits they can learn so much. Thanks for posting.
