This movie was almost completely re-constructed. It appears to be genuine on the surface - but in actual fact all of the moving pictures were re-constructed and that makes this a fake documentary. I wish that the movie would have been different - with perhaps more interviews from the family members of their memories of their family members who ran the Mount Baker mountain. I wish they would have shown the museum in which the historic photographs were kept and I wish I did not get fooled into believing that is was real when it was fake. This movie was completely manipulated - it completely, deceived the audience. Special effects are one thing - but to have the whole movie like this is untrue. The untrue style of filming did take away from the historic story of individuals who ran up Mount Baker and then back down again. To me, their stories, their preparations for the race and their reason to do it - was it National Pride? - was probably more important then the fast special effects - which deadened a deep story.
