Short Cuts - Endurance
Josie Long presents short documentaries and adventures in sound about feats of endurance.
A marathon runner needs to outrun a race official who wants her off the track, a woman exhausts herself while running through the personal ads and a writer living in the shadow of a nuclear reactor finds unlikely companionship with cockroaches.
