Into the Rift: The Story of the PEdALED Atlas Mountain Race
May. 20,2020
To simply finish the Atlas Mountain Race means navigating 1,200 kilometres of the most rugged and remote roads in Morocco. To win requires riding almost non-stop, night and day, for days on end. It is a combination of strength and sleep deprivation that only a few riders in the world can manage. Alone, unsupported and loaded down with supplies, each competitor must constantly battle mechanicals, heat exhaustion and saddle sores to get to the finish. There is no prize, no money, simply the satisfaction that comes from pushing oneself to the limit while exploring the forgotten corners of a beautiful country.
Reviews
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
