At 4 years old, he is the world's youngest marathon runner, running nearly 40 miles in about 6 1/2 hours. At 3 years of age, she swam more than half a mile in the Arabian Sea in less than six hours. Budhia and Pooja are two of India's athletic child prodigies, but with fame also comes controversy over child exploitation, mistreatment, and mismanagement. This documentary looks critically at these issues.
