This is what making history looks like!
A raw, unfiltered look at endurance athlete Mike Samuels' attempt to do something no one has ever done before:
Set the world’s first F.K.T for the brutal Arc of Attrition Double.
This isn’t just another ultra. It’s over 200 miles of relentless Cornish coastline, jagged cliffs, and endless climbs.
The film puts you right alongside Mike and his crew as they navigate the physical and mental toll of taking on one of the UK’s toughest endurance challenges - twice.
When the distance stretches into triple digits, it’s no longer just about running. It becomes a test of teamwork, suffering, and sheer will to keep moving forward.
Does Mike have what it takes to make history?

Well done Mike. What an accomplishment and to do it with an awesome crew, including the lovely Martin, must’ve made a difference. Great doc, really nicely made and well worth watching at least once!
