Marathon Men

30 min / documentary / 2019 / USA

director: Raza Naqvi & Sara Obeidat

 A look into the lives of three young men on the autism spectrum. The film explores how all three men and their families have found meaning and purpose through running.
While ordinary tasks we take for granted represent huge daily challenges for these young men, they are all taking on a challenge most people find difficult or impossible to complete – they will be running the New York City Marathon. One of the young men, Jonathan Brunot, will be competing in his 8th NYC Marathon. He has been aptly nicknamed Autism Superman by the running and the special needs community.
With a no-nonsense coach who refuses to treat any of his athletes differently because of their disability, and a group of parents pushing back against the isolation that comes with autism, “Marathon Men” will capture the frustration, perseverance, inspiration and competition of these three captivating characters.
