What an inspiring story! Our world needs more people like Judge Mitchell, willing to give people a second chance at realizing that their lives are worth living - it’s never too late!!
What an excellent movie about the incredible heart of a Los Angeles judge who advocates for the rights of the homeless and formerly incarcerated (even those that he put in jail). Truly an exceptional look into the life of one extraordinary man who is changing the lives of so many that more than likely would have been lost without him. I hope some movie director or producer makes a movie about this. Truly an inspiring movie.
A beautiful and honest story of supporting people through addiction. An absolute must watch! Everyone can learn and gain inspiration from the hard work that these people are doing!!
Skid Row Marathon is the most inspirational running documentary ever made. It brings home the point that if you believe in someone and give them a second chance at life, positive things can happen. It is impossible to watch this without going away touched in some way. Maybe even inspired to do something yourself to give someone hope and a shot at a second chance.
Kudos to the writer, producers and directors for creating such a wonderful film. Everyone must watch this documentary, runners and non-runners alike. It will change you!
