The Infinite Race follows an annual marathon in Mexico’s Copper Canyon, where the indigenous Rarámuri—renowned for their endurance—compete in a grueling long-distance race. Founded in 2004, the event honors Rarámuri traditions and supports the community, including essential corn vouchers. With stunning cinematography and intimate access to the runners, the film explores tensions beneath the race: cultural appropriation, economic pressures, and the threat of drug cartels. When violence threatens the next race, the complexities of the organizers and the global spotlight come into focus. Amid these challenges, the film offers a vivid portrait of a resilient people whose connection to land and tradition endures—race or no race, the Rarámuri continue to run.
