Major Taylor: Champion of the Race, a new documentary about the early 20th-century international superstar athlete you've probably never heard of, premiers on WTIU and PBS Video on Monday, February 26, at 8pm.

Inner States host Alex Chambers spoke with director Todd Gould about who Major Taylor was, why he matters, and about how the real results of a documentary, for Todd, are the people he can connect with each other along the way.

Music in this feature is sourced from music used in the documentary itself, composed by Tyron Cooper.
