MOVIE TEASER:
There were no finishers again in 2018 and 2019. The course won, again! Every year, 40 international runners descend upon a small town in Tennessee to test their mental and physical limits against the Barkley Marathons. Devised as a mockery of James Earl Ray’s historic prison escape gone awry, the race has seen only 10 finishers in its first 25 years. The race’s co-founder Lazarus Lake is as weird, unpredictable, and irresistible a character as the idiosyncratic event he has created. With a secret application process, unknown start time, and treacherous terrain, the Barkley has gained cult-like status with ultra-runners and amateurs alike. This award-winning, oddly inspiring, and wildly funny documentary invites you to the sports world’s most guarded secret; where pain has value, failure is spectacular, and it only costs $1.60.
The Chapel Cinema Series is an intimate screening of the finest international, independent, and documentary films, many premiering for the first time in Tennessee. We showcase movies that creatively address the most important religious, cultural, and social aspects of human life with passion and inspiration.
