    • Synopsis
    • Pat Farmer is an Ultra Marathon runner and an ex Member of Australian Parliament. His past feats include running around Australia, running from North Pole to South Pole run, among others. He embarked on his most challenging and complex adventure- running the length of India, 85 kms a day, 66 days non stop. Starting on 26th January 2016, Pat fell short of time and resources in order to make this deadline. He sacked his race manager weeks before the race, and his colourful team of four were experiencing India for the first time. With his political connections, Pat managed to start the race, but many loose ends were still to be tied up raising the question - Would he finish the race ? The accommodation was not completely secured, security & safety, health, Pat’s medical issues, food, just to name a few. Pat was aware but never realized the challenges piling up !

      The film will provide a nail biting, humorous, visually enchanting, dramatic, inspiring journey through a diverse and visually stunning India which will saturate your senses. This film is a journey where the destination really does not matter.
