2015 Festival | 11-Minute Mile

Stuck at the airport on a layover, cocky day-trader Sean can’t resist calling his buddy Pat to needle him about their bet: Sean wagers Pat won’t be able to average an 11-minute mile while running the Boston Marathon. As news starts to spread about the bombing at the marathon, Sean’s bravado turns to bargaining, especially when his calls to Pat continue to go to voicemail. Presented by KQED.
