Troy Dunmore

Filmed inside California's oldest state prison, 26.2 to Life explores the transformative power of San Quentin's 1000 Mile Club, in which incarcerated men train for and run a marathon on the dirt and concrete path circling the prison yard.

This film follows Troy Dunmore, who was convicted to 65 years-to-life. He was released through this new law, Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing (PIR), in 2021. At 58 years old, Troy had served 26 years in prison and had 39-years-to-life remaining on his sentence. This film was co-produced by Thanh Tran, who was also released through PIR, and was created following ethical storytelling guidelines he helped establish at our organization – ensuring Troy was able to tell his story on his own terms.
