“Flatline To Finish Line” is a totally Ironman-centric documentary that is at times both massively uplifting and a huge freaking bummer—definitely a film that’s worth seeing, regardless of your IM tattoo status."

Lately there seems to be a spate of triathlon movies rising to the surface. Four months ago, Triathlete Editor-in-Chief Erin Beresini stumbled upon a floating turd in the form of “Run To Me”—a disastrously tone-deaf attempt by Lifetime to (finally?) try to cash in on this whole triathlon thing. Clearly, no one involved in this movie spent any time speaking to an actual triathlete, but then again Lifetime sometimes sets a pretty low bar anyway.

 

A month later, Erin hit cinematic paydirt when she watched another fictional triathlon movie aptly named, “TRI.” In her review, she called it “the award-winning, feel-good triathlon film of the year [that] gets our sport right.” So at least we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

 

In a departure from the fictional front, last April we saw the release of yet another triathlon film—this time based entirely on real triathletes. Available on Amazon Prime now, with limited release in theatres last summer, “Flatline to Finish Line” goes far in showing the transformative power of our sport for those who have struggled with heart disease. Directed, produced and starring David Watkins, the film centers around a group of heart disease survivors and their lives as they prepare for Ironman Arizona in 2012.  READ MORE
