Mumbai: MTV has announced the premiere of ‘Moving Mountains Within’ on 7th August 2024. This captivating documentary, directed by Abhishek Kumawat and produced by Dr. Rajat Chauhan and Abhishek Kumawat, follows ultra-runners facing challenging feats in Ladakh’s La Ultra – The High race.
This documentary is more than a race; it’s a testament to human passion and resilience, showcasing ultra-runners conquering Ladakh’s 17,582 ft altitude in challenging weather during August 2019.
Moving Mountains Within features challenging distances of 55, 111, 222, 333, and an impressive 555 km. In a harsh desert terrain at high altitudes, brave runners took on the grueling 555 km in 132 hours, marking it as one of the world’s toughest races. Participants include Mathew Maday and Cassendra Turner, successful entrepreneurs; Jason Reardon, ex-military from Australia; Ashish Kasodekar, a 40-year-old Indian runner with previous experience in La Ultra 2018; Shikha Pahwa, a Delhi restaurant owner; and Lukasz Sagan, who quit his job to train for La Ultra.
The race stands out for its lack of prize money or reward, motivating runners solely through their passion. The documentary showcases the runners’ camaraderie, determination in facing snow, physical breakdowns, and mental hurdles, all while triumphantly persevering.
