Anticipating a possible depressing prison story, 26.2 turned out to be a well made documentary, a human story of tragedy, hope, transformation and a challenging prison yard marathon. I was moved by the storys told from the three main prisoners the documentary focused on and how their lives have evolved over the years.

This took tremendous work to put together, a surprise that needs to be seen. Great community all together.
