Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 11/08/2018
Rawal's well-shot film is engaging - particularly for those with an interest in running and/or meditation - but the lack of balance between each of the four stories ultimately throws the film off. Go to Full Review
Leah Pickett Chicago Reader 09/22/2018
Rawal widens his scope beyond ultramarathoners in the 2016 race to include other groups who value running as a spiritual exercise. Go to Full Review
Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 06/23/2020
I found it almost hypnotic watching these competitors, who rarely acknowledge each other for being so focused; I found the film to be as captivating as it is curious and mysterious. Go to Full Review

3/5
As a non-athletic look at long-distance running the film delves into the realm of self-help and personal transformation, with a side-message about the importance of knowing your limits, both physical and mental...well-paced and very well-photographed. Go to Full Review

This film is not only a great opportunity to get close to understanding Colette, but it is also very educational and entertaining. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

See more 01/15/2019 Award winning directors Sanjay Rawals latest offering is 3100: Run and Become, a feature film length documentary that explores the historic and current relationship between running and spirituality and its connection to personal growth. It focuses primarily on Finnish ultra-runner Ashprihanal Aalto. A simple man, who lives alone and only really trains by delivering newspapers during his daily job, Aalto happens to be one of the best multi runners in the world. The movie then moves focus to the Navajo nation and their connection with running and their mother earth. It also explores the Kalahari Bushmen who were "Born to Run" and touches on the difficulties they have in maintaining their traditional hunting activities. Perhaps the rarest footage is of the is of the legendary Marathon Monks of Japan's Mt. Hie. Spectacularly dressed, looking more like star wars action figures than spiritual seekers, the aspirants pilgrimage around the mountain in their thousand day quest for enlightenment, covering immense distances every day. The monks feel their prayers while running uplift the world as they act as intermediaries between the Buddha and the earth, climbing, praying and circumnavigate the mountain for years on end. It took the film crew three visits to the head monk to be allowed to film. They are not interested in publicity, just their own spiritual progress. The access Rawal got was inspiring, visually uplifting and unprecedented. Ultimately this film probably opens some doors to us all explaining why many of us run when we are asked by a non-runner 'Why would you do that?' I loved it See more Read all reviews
