Endurance (1998)
First screened in May 2020
Director: Leslie Woodhead. Cast: Haile Gebrselassie, Yonas Zergaw, Shawananness Gebrselassie, Bekele Gebrselassie, Tedesse Haile, Alem Tellahun.

Twitter Capsule: Woodhead's history with docudrama and producer Terrence Malick's poetic gift coalesce gorgeously in a distilled tribute.

VOR:   I sort of fell in love on the spot. Without being "challenging" per se, it's a sports movie, a kid's movie, a biopic, and a genre hybrid of an unusual stripe.
