WGBH Boston

Marathon Documentary

Casting Call

WGBH Boston is the nation’s preeminent producer of national programming for PBS, including NOVA. Seen in more than 100 countries, NOVA is the most watched science television series in the world and the most watched documentary series on PBS. It is also one of television's most acclaimed series, having won every major television award, from the Emmy to the Peabody — in some cases many times over.

NOVA is seeking volunteers to participate in the filming of Marathon (working title), an hour-long documentary scheduled to debut on PBS in 2007. Marathon will follow a group of first-time marathoners as they train with the Tufts Marathon Challenge team to participate in one of the world’s most prestigious—and physically challenging—sporting events: the Boston Marathon.
