"Marathon Boy" Documentary Follows Greedy Tale of 5-year-old Marathoner

Imagine running 48 marathons in one year...and being only four years old. Now imagine that the weight of an impoverished nation rests on your little shoulders, as greed, temptation, and corruption come at you from all angles. This is the story of 5-year-old Budhia Singh from India, featured in a documentary called "Marathon Boy" airing on HBO on Nov 3rd.

Set your DVR's, people! Sounds like a riveting tale.

    Saw Marathon Boy at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival Yesterday. Thought provoking movie. Well done, while a bit sad.

    Thanks for letting us know. I will watch it although it sounds rather upsetting.
