Running on the Sun: The Badwater 135 (2000)

Riveting documentary on the Badwater 135 mile ultramarathon, considered to be the toughest ultra in the world. It's painful just watching the film. I can't imagine the torture felt while running the actual race. I liked the real time chronology of the footage. The filmmakers highlighted many runners, rather than the usual 5-6, which was nice. The pacing was great too. As a novice ultrarunner myself, I found the film very inspiring.
