I watched the long walk and now I’m reading the book. I was wondering, how credible is the distance? It’s 300 to 400 miles. What would happen to your body on the way?

        It’s been a while since I read it but the guards also there to make sure you don’t abscond. Which would probably include running ahead of the group.

          Correct, in the book they have multiple groups of soldiers that run ahead (in vehicles) if there is a vanguard.

          I’m reading it too because I read it over a decade ago and making it into a movie seemed stupid to me. So I wanted to know how stupid.
