About the project: When a young amputee cyclist and his underdog team of bike racers chase their dream of representing Palestine on the world stage, their six-year odyssey becomes a matter of life or death adaptation as bombs descend on Gaza.

 

 

The project will be presented as part of the Palestine Showcase on May 17. We keep our fingers crossed and wish Flavia and her team good luck with the pitch!
