The award-winning documentary short "The Endless Mile” presents the captivating journey of 85-year-old Jimmie Barnes as he endeavors to set a World Record by walking 114 miles in 48 hours. "The Endless Mile" delves into the essence of life’s fragility, the strengthening bonds within a family, and the universal thread of human connection.
