Comedy Documentary
Legyaan Thapa’s 36 Hour Walk follows a college student who tries to trek from his midtown Manhattan dorm all the way to the far end of Long Island in just 36 hours. In this personal, lo-fi documentary, he commits to going a day and a half without food or sleep and sets out with no clear reason beyond hoping the answer will reveal itself along the route. Before long, bad planning, unexpected obstacles, boredom, frustration, and physical strain take their toll as the hours drag on and exhaustion builds toward the finish. Blending shaky visuals with a wry, self-deprecating, easygoing tone, it’s an amusing tribute to ambitious goals and imperfect follow-through.
