147

147 is an emotional documentary about ultrarunner Stephanie Hauser, who undertakes a 147-mile run in just 48 hours. This extraordinary journey honors the 147 days her son, Zev, spent fighting for his life in the NICU after being born prematurely at 23 weeks.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Boulder, Colorado, 147 seamlessly shifts between the intimate, high-stakes environment of the hospital and the relentless, rugged outdoors where Stephanie pushes her limits. This dual narrative captures the essence of human endurance and the unwavering spirit that drives individuals to overcome overwhelming challenges.

As Stephanie’s friends and loved ones rally around her, running alongside as pacers and offering support, they echo her motto, “Tell me what’s good!” This phrase, which was a guiding light for Stephanie and her husband, Ben, in the NICU, becomes even more poignant as Stephanie faces the grueling physical and emotional demands of her run.

Through heartfelt interviews, raw footage, and moments of profound reflection, 147 delves into themes of hope, the power of community, and the extraordinary lengths a mother will go to for her child. Stephanie’s journey is not just an athletic feat but a beacon of inspiration for anyone facing their trials.
