Breaking 7

Rita HUNG 2014 Hong Kong Documentary color 65min Cantonese, English DCP
Alison CHOW is quite a legend among Hong Kong long-distance runners. In 2011, she participated in the 38th BMW Berlin Marathon. She finished the marathon in 2 hours 49 minutes and 57 seconds, 7 minutes slower than the Olympics entry requirement, thus the name of this documentary, Breaking 7. Alison gave up on her stable teaching job and left her comfort zone at the age of almost 30 just to follow her dream: to be a full-time marathon athlete. She went through countless challenges with her coach, good friends and family, and was further inspired in life.
