Filmicability with Dean Treadway
"Run For Your Life does what all fine docs do: it recounts a story we've never heard, but which has massive historical implications. It gives us a main character worthy of our attention. It has a complex structure that doesn't follow events as they happened in a timeline, but as they relate to one another. And it inventively illustrates its story with perceptive interviews, archive footage that's well-edited, and stunning graphic work. I also have to mention its incredible source-music soundtrack of past hit songs and present-day songs that should be hits. I've never been a runner--I'm too busy watching movies, so I've always found its appeal a bit mystifying--but now after seeing the inspiring Run For Your Life, I think I know what its point is."
