Rise of the Sufferfests is the first documentary about Tough Mudder, Spartan Race and the global obstacle course phenomenon. The film asks why millions of people are suddenly paying to suffer through ice, fire, electricity, barbed wire, mud and moreβ¦ and what it says about the world weβre living in. It features a colorful cast of characters from the cultish βOCRβ community, as well as sharpβand often funnyβsocial commentary from thought leaders like Morgan Spurlock, Tim Ferriss, A.J. Jacobs and Hanna Rosin. It also follows the misadventures of journalist-turned-filmmaker Scott Keneally, a self-proclaimed βbeta maleβ who wanders deep into the crucible, tackling some of the worldβs most brutal sufferfests. Far from just a movie about mud, itβs a smart, entertaining film about modern life and the journey of a βjust enougherβ to steel up in the face of fatherhood.
