The Most Distant Way
Two young British distance runners, Kirsten and Mike, are training in Kenya's Rift Valley, an area with the greatest density of elite endurance runners on earth. With only a week remaining of their three month stay, they each have to face up to their fears about going home whilst trying to make sense of their lives.
