The link below is to a movie trailer for an upcoming marathon documentary
"Land of the Gods: The Legend of the Marathon". According to information on
the filmmakers website, it is scheduled for release in Summer 2006.
"Feature-Length Documentary which will follow a cross section of four
individuals training for and running the 2005 LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon.
While spending a period of four to five months learning about each
character, the history of the marathon unfolds. From its origins in
literature and the Modern Olympic Games to Kenyan Paul Tergats phenomenal
world record, significant milestones in the event are recounted by the
worlds greatest marathoners. The race is presented as both a unique
spectacle as well as an empowering event, which represents extreme personal
triumph".
When you go to the site, you'll be shown the second of two trailers for the
movie. When you're done, you can click the "Films" link at the bottom of the
page, then the "Land of the Gods" icon, to view Trailer 1 and/or a PDF file
with background information.
If the finished product is as good as the trailers, we're in for a real
treat!

This has been tried before without success. It seems no amount of
methamphetamine can keep a camera crew awake long enough...
