New York Premiere: Running the Sahara

Running the Sahara is the true story of three men who embark on a mind-boggling pursuit: running across all 4,300 miles of the Sahara Desert. They average fifty miles per day for nearly four months without a single day off, facing down dehydration, dust storms, and blisters the size of baseballs. The journey takes a physical and emotional toll on the team and although the oppressive conditions inspire moments of doubt, each man remains determined to make it to the end on foot. Director James Moll will be on hand to discuss his astonishing film, and runner Ray Zahab will field questions about the transformative experience.
