Have you heard about THE RIDE? Here’s the lowdown from the makers of the
film:
“It’s a documentary about
four Aussie blokes swapping their wheelchairs for
quad bikes and embarking on the ride of their lives. The documentary
charts their 5,000km adventure across the outback, as they visit the crash
sites where their lives changed forever. Three men are paraplegics and one a
quadriplegic, making this no ordinary road movie. Their encounters with mud,
deserts, floods and exhaustion test their resilience and endurance to breaking
point. Fuelled by bold humour and disarming honesty, The Ride is a wild
traverse across the terrain of the human spirit, as four men make peace with
the tragedy of their past”

the trailer here:
Now the makers of the doco are hoping to raise some funds to take the film on a national tour.
“Each night we'll screen the film in a new city or town, followed by a question and answer session with the cast and crew/filmmakers/one or more of the courageous men you see above. We're going to pack a van FULL of screening equipment, DVDs and t-shirts and inspire people to rise up from life’s challenges! For each screening we will team up with existing not-for-profits in the disability or road trauma sector to help us engage the local community. They can use these screenings to raise funds for their organisations.”
