This short documentary covers an interesting topic and captures the athletes' dedication to the race, but the technical errors take away from the overall effect. In some of the interviews, the subjects' heads are cut off a little, and when the imagery changes and plays the interviewees' voiceovers in the background, it never cuts back to the interview so you forget who is speaking. Also, the volume fluctuates a lot such as at 1:39 when it drops but then gets louder in the following clips. There is also constant static in the background.

The background music throughout this project really complements the subject, and the voices are very clear the whole time. When she is talking to people on the street, there is background noise from passing cars but it is not overwhelming at all, and the transitions from her personal commentary to the street interviews fade into each other so it's smooth. There are also smooth transitions with the camera work because sometimes it is slow motion and then toward the end it is sped up a little, but its for just the right amount of time and doesn't seem forced. I also thought the stone steps where she chose to do her commentary were a perfect background.
