A Film by Shai Ben-Dor

It’s human nature to try and pretend things are okay in times of struggle.
That used to be the case for New Jersey runner and race director Kim Levinsky. Through her attempt to set the “Fastest Known Time “on the relatively unknown 358-mile New York State Long Path, Kim unravels her journey from reluctantly starting therapy to becoming a mental health advocate in her community.
Join us for a powerful evening of film, reflection, and conversation with The Long Path, a 40-minute documentary following New Jersey runner and race director Kim Levinsky on her attempt to set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Long Path—a hidden gem of New York’s trail system–that runs from the George Washington Bridge to the upstate New York Wilderness.
What begins as a physical challenge becomes a raw and revealing journey into mental health, as Kim shares her experience with therapy, vulnerability, and ultimately, advocacy.
After the film there will be a discussion with the filmmaker, Shai Ben-Dor; the subject of the film, Kim Levinsky, trail party director at Sassquad Trail Running; and Devin Solar, a certified hiking guide and mental health counselor with Embrace Psychotherapy in Nyack.
