Winner of a dozen film festival awards and Critics Choice Awards Nominee for Best First Documentary Feature, 26.2 TO LIFE explores the transformative power of San Quentin State Prison’s 1000 Mile Club, in which incarcerated runners are coached by volunteer elite marathoners for an annual marathon that takes place entirely within the prison walls — 105 dizzying laps around the lower yard. With the 0% recidivism rate among the club’s released members, the film show how powerful community engagement can be, not only for the incarcerated runners, but also for the outside volunteers who gain a complex understanding of who ends up in prison and why and what rehabilitation looks like.

Discussion with filmmakers to follow.
