8% No Limit is a journey documentary that is both a window and a mirror into blindness as we step into the mind of a blind ultrarunner reflecting a life bound by disability. An exploration of dark and light, of boundaries, perceived limits and death to the left at every footfall.
"I am only blind because you are sighted … there is only dark because there is light.”
Meet Rhonda-Marie Avery: she is legally blind, a mother, a massage therapist, an ultrarunner. In August of 2014 she set out to run Canada’s longest and oldest trail.
885k, for 20 consecutive days, with 8% vision to show the world what it means to be “able”.
“Every day, every moment, we are given a choice - not only how we view the world, but also how we let the world view us…”
In early spring of 2016 Rhonda-Marie Avery made a big splash as the first person of disability to attempt the world's toughest race, The Barkley Marathons.
