    Well done....by everyone...film, crew, and runner. Having been through that area a few times, I can attest to the heat and the distance . Imagine someone pointing a giant hair dry at your body while you run on hot asphalt and watch the sun go down and come up twice. I should also point out that the heat is often very tough on the crew too. Unlike many runners who train for the conditions, often the crew is not ready for the heat and it's not unusual for crew to end up in the hospital. Anyone who steps foot on that course deserves kudos...and especially for finishing. Congratulations and thanks for sharing the experience....I love the low key production.

    Hi Sir Gerald, your story for this race was amazing and it inspired me as a fellow runner and kababayan. I am currently working in Taiwan and I love to run especially Trail Marathons. After watching this, I will be doing my first Ultramarathon 50km this year. Thank you po for the inspiration. More badwater races for you po. Godbless

    Great film! Gerald's story is beautiful and inspiring! I've watched a couple Badwater 135 race documentaries and without a doubt not only are the race finishers dedicated so are the crews...they have to be out there every step of the way! Great job to the crew of "Peachy" Poso (love that name), Ibar and the Doctor (S. Gerschultz)!

    Hi! We loved this doc so much and would love to include it in an upcoming video we're making of the top 10 running docs to watch on our channel and wondered if it would be ok to include footage from this in it? We'd ideally use between 30secs and 1 min. We would include a link back to the doc in the description too. Thanks!

    "speaking in foreign language"? I think it would do good to open our minds a little more here, keep in mind that going by your thinking, English is a "foreign language" to most of us here. Its a global village we live in these days, there are no foreigners, and no foreign languages get hip to it.
