Wiki.

Hurt is a 2015 Canadian documentary film, directed by Alan Zweig. The film explores the troubled life of Steve Fonyo, the Canadian amputee athlete who completed a cross-Canada run that was known as the "Journey for Lives" to raise funds for cancer research in 1984 and 1985.

The film showcases Fonyo's resilience, not only the kind that kept an 18-year-old cancer survivor running the equivalent of a half marathon a day for 400 days for 7924 km. In addition to his 400-day run, the movie also depicts the downfalls of his life, including cocaine addiction, excessive drinking, surviving East Hastings, numerous stints in jail, having his prosthetic leg stolen, and being beaten and stabbed multiple times.

In 2017, Zweig released a sequel, Hope, which picks up from where Hurt left off, chronicling Fonyo's recovery.
