Skid Row Marathon (12A)

Mon 1 Jan 0001 - Wed 27 Jun 2018, Capitol Theatre

A motivating and award-winning documentary about the redemptive power of running and the camaraderie of an unlikely group of individuals from LA's Skid Row who receive a second chance at life, all brought on by a simple act of kindness.

Follow the story of High Court Judge, Craig Mitchell, as he leads a long-distance running club out of the Midnight Mission on Skid Row. The running raises the spirits of Skid Row's inhabitants and gives a sense of purpose to a group of people who are homeless, addicted or coming out of the prison system.

As the judge says in the film "One horrendous act does not define a person in his entirety" and so the film highlights the transformation of homeless and often helpless individuals into sober, rounded and functioning members of society.
