Thursday, July 24th, 2008Welcome to Sunday’s Sojourn, a series that seeks out the best track & field videos for your weekend viewing pleasure. While I was surfing YouTube just now searching for a cool track & field video snippet that I might be able to share with you, I stumbled across this documentary for the first time.

I’ll be watching the rest of it over the next 40 minutes or so (total running time for the 6 parts: 39:15). Join me in watching it, will you? (You can access parts 2 through 6 after the jump):
