Starring Yoko Shimada and Chris Mitchum, this film is based on the true story of a Japanese immigrant who is a record setting marathon runner. Miki Tsuwa sets a world record in the Western Hemisphere Marathon but her career as a world class marathoner is suddenly jeopardized by the strains of marriage, motherhood and home life. Her husband Mike Gorman realizes that for Miki to be happy she must continue to run. He persuades her to enter a marathon with only 8 weeks to train. Miki pushes even harder and her final victory represents a triumph of the human spirit-his love, her dream, and their common determination winning against all odds. You can order this directly from Amazon.com which was released again by Media Home Entertainment on VHS in 1984.
