A documentary film shot by a participant in a 500 mile bicycle ride from Hanover in Germany to Prague in the Czech Republic. The group is travelling to Prague to protest at the World Bank IMF meeting. Along the way they encounter police, the press, local officials, and the border officials when crossing into the Czech Republic. Each group presents the cyclists with challenges and the film explores the ways in which they dealt with them.
The camera work is remarkably good considering it's all hand-held, or filmed while riding a bike. The film is well edited and the narration is somewhat neutral about the politics of the group. The film focuses instead on the day-to-day problems the group encounters as they make their way to Prague to make their message heard. There is some excellent footage of the protests themselves, from the POV of the protesters.
