26.2 to Life: Inside the San Quentin Prison Marathon
Behind the walls of San Quentin State Prison in California, three men sentenced to life for murder undertake running a marathon. Training all year, their route is unconventional, a dizzying 105 laps around a crowded prison yard. The bonds they forge on the track create a community that transcends prison politics and extends beyond the prison walls as members are released. \n\n26.2 to Life is a story of transformation and second chances. The film offers a rare glimpse into a world out of bounds, as the men navigating life sentences seek redemption and freedom... or something like it.
