My dad never knew his own dad until he was 40, and only had half siblings growing up in a house literally made of clay. He stepped into fatherhood like Joe knowing exactly what not to do, and now me being 33 and knowing a loving, caring, and present father, this beautiful documentary has shown me that Joe’s son is going to have an incredible role model in his dad. Incredible work on the documentary, and thank you for sharing your story Joe. There are a lot of people out there like you and your son ☺️.

Today I finally got the chance to sit down and watch this beautiful doc. I've been waiting what feels like forever to watch it after listening to Eric and Steven talk about it on Rally Caps for so long. I was upset that I had a busy couple weeks of college finals until I could watch it, because I wanted to give it the full love and respect it deserved, but man the wait was worth it because wow... I didn't expect to cry and watch a story that felt so similar to my own. Thank you Joe for sharing your story and thank you to everyone who helped create such a beautiful doc💙

Absolutely incredible on so many levels. I have been a huge fan of Joe's work for many years, but I admittedly didn't know much about the man behind the lens. This documentary was deeply moving, incredibly heartfelt, aesthetically brilliant, and just so damn entertaining. I am beyond grateful to be able to watch this for free, and thankful to all involved. Also, it goes without saying but sub 2:40 is just.. unreal. Cheers to Joe, to his achievements, to his beautiful family, his incredible body of work, and to his 2:30 goal! I wish the Greer family nothing but good things in '25 and beyond.

Finally took the time to watch this beautiful documentary, and wow-it moved me deeply, not just as a runner but as a human being. The themes of chasing goals, family trauma, and forgiveness are so profoundly explored here. On this day, December 30, 2024, those themes resonate with me in a way no other day of the year could have. Thank you, Joe, for sharing your journey and reminding us of the strength it takes to keep running-not just on the track, but through the complexities of life itself. Truly inspiring.

I was at the screening in New York and got a chance to talk to Joe. At first I thought it started out slow but then it picked radically, and in the end it built such a profound connection between my own life’s struggles and what Joe was going through. This movie was less about the photography - which is how I primarily know Joe,- but about facing the demons in his head. And finding people who he loves.

Incredible doc. I’ve followed Joe for around 10 years. He’s been a huge inspiration to me throughout that time. And while this is a moving story about him, this is also a story about you guys making the film. I’ve followed along with the process for a while, it’s awesome to see the finished film 🫶🏻

As a former street photographer [ London 2014 - 2019 ] and now trying my hand at landscape work [ PNW, US 2024 - ] I've never looked at past or present photographers so didn't know who Joe was. I've had a habit of being too influenced by others in my other artistic endeavors (acting/music/art) to such a degree that I struggle to find my own voice. So I was thrilled that my new running obsession bubbled this amazing documentary to the top of my suggested list not only to find Joe's work which is wonderful, but also be inspired to get out on the tarmac and trails to find space clarity. Such a Beautiful story. Thank you all for creating such wonderful art.

That was beautiful to watch. It gave me so much more respect forJoe as a human being, hisr photography, his running career and family. I could relate. It makes me understand he deserves all the praise he gets and how the efforts and success come from struggle and not what I painfully admittedly used to assume, from a probably almost perfect life, before where he got to be now. Makes him a massive inspiration for me and not just as an artist. Which is extremely rare for me to say. Not that my opinion matters much, but anyways thanks Joe for sharing so much, being transparent and vulnerable and giving me a new important lesson in life. I’m a traveler, photographer, long distance/thru hiker and did a 50k ultramarathon as my first ever run in 2021 (a few months before getting diagnosed with a major hip bone disease) and will one day teach architecture which Is what studied. This gives me more inspiration on making my first photography book soon and running again after I finally get my hip replacement done. But most of all, more motivation to solve or better deal with my own past family issues and successfully forming a new family one day. Thanks for this

I was raised by my great grandparents in a small town in chickasha, Oklahoma. My parents divorced when I was 3, my mom and my dad both left us there until I was in 5th grade when my mom came back and took myself and my 2 sisters. My grand parents would eventually pass away, then my sister, then my biological father (whom I never had a relationship with), and now my other sister is estranged from my my mom and I. She has severe mental issues and we haven't spoken in years. My mother too, was awarded a large sum of money for my sisters death but she squandered it away. Thank you for sharing your story Joe. You enable others to share theirs. Others, such as myself that are ashamed to admit it, and no longer wish to feel weak or taken advantage of by their own trauma. It's not our faults but God wrote it this way and such as you I was blessed with a loving wife and new family and now have 2 children of my own. I would never imagined my life would have brought me this much joy, compassion, empathy, love that my grandmother once showed to me. She is up there now crying tears of joy and I thank her and I thank God and I thank you for helping me heal as well. My father in law once said to me "maybe you should be grateful for the man your father didn't raise you to be" and though I miss the relationship we might have had I am blessed to be whom I am without him.
