+ CONVERSATION WITH FILMMAKER ROB NILSSON
Wes Holman, a promising distance runner at odds with his father, a labor activist who sees sports as a diversion from working class struggle, was banned from the sport for cashing in plane tickets to track meets. Now in his 40s he tries to enter the Cielo Sea, an arduous mountain run with handicaps assigned each runner based on age and sex. But the head of the race is the same man who turned him in.
