“At times it might seem we’re all battling uphill, whether through the Mendips with just a few kilometres to go, or politically, against more powerful, belligerent forces. But the overarching message from the voices inChasing The Sun is as heartening as it is clear: Keep going. And it’s a brilliant journey to watch.” – Cyclist Magazine
Chasing The Sun is the new film from 2x BAFTA-winning director Michael B.Clifford.
In 1973 a professor in a little known American university set out to discover the most energy efficient creature on earth: turns out, it’s a human being on a bicycle! The experiment has since entered into legend and is now more relevant than ever before. The film explores extraordinary personal stories of ordinary cyclists chasing the sun, revealing the power of the humble bicycle to transform lives and help save the planet.
The film features contributions from broadcaster and ITV’s voice of the Tour de France Ned Boulting, author and blogger Jools Walker, Turner Prize-winning artist Sir Richard Long and 4x Mountain Bike World Champion Tracy Moseley.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with Producer, Pip Piper.
