Review of Rise Of The Sufferfests (2016) by Bryan C — 06 Jan 2017

It's not the slickest direction or most streamlined narrative you will ever see, but it's a must-see documentary if you are a member of the obstacle course racing ("OCR") community. I have done 21 OCRs (with five more already on the calendar for next year) and if you ever want to know why, just watch this movie. It captures the essence of the OCR movement and also reflects on a lot of issues that plague modern society (narcissism, lack of connectedness, technology saturation, ease of life vs. quality of life, and more). Even after all the races I have done, this documentary was great because I learned more about the history of the industry, the biggest figures in the sport, and even myself.

Grade: A.
