How it feels

This documentary follows two forgotten Raramuri Indian runners from Mexico who were once celebrated in the 1990s for their ultra-marathon achievements. It shows how they lost support and faded from the spotlight, then turns to their descendants who now strive to reclaim their family's legacy as the world's toughest runners.
