My Journey to the Start
This 2 part documentary series follows Mandy, a first-time runner and mother of three, as she decides to run the NYC Marathon. The series explores the role of running across generations and how a free Saturday run creates community through movement, support, and shared determination. For Mandy, this race is more than just 26 miles. It is a way to honor her parents, teach her children, and prove to herself that she finally "is a real New Yorker".
