Description:
In 1904, the first modern Olympic marathon was run in los Estados Unidos's deep south at the height of summer. Due to the heat, the muddy water and the dust in the air, half of the runners were hospitalised. In fourth place came humble, working-class postman Felix Carvajal, a little man with a big mustache. Abby Denton's show breaks down the politics of 1904 to explain why Felix Carvajal is, in fact, one of her favourite men ever to walk the earth, who deserves a statue in every park.
