Seven minutes of soul is a sports documentary that follows Panos Vlahos’s journey to investigate the conditions under which the first modern olympic games in Athens (1896) took place and debunk the myth of the very first marathon winner in history. In the first olympic marathon race in history, in the 1896 Athens Olympics, a young water carrier by the name Spyros Louis was the first runner to cross the finish line after having run another marathon 5 days prior to the race.
