Chasing the Sun (2024) + Q&A

Presented by Big Picture Festival - Stratford upon Avon

In 1973, a groundbreaking experiment at a little-known American university unveiled a startling truth: the most energy-efficient creature on Earth is a human being on a bicycle. This brand new documentary film delves into the transformative power of the bicycle, showcasing the inspiring event known as "Chase The Sun," where ordinary people achieve the extraordinary by cycling coast to coast, over 200 miles in a single day, powered by nothing more than sandwiches, energy bars, cups of tea, and unyielding cheer.
