Ride, Ride, Ride to Freedom

Summary In the summer of 2015, more than two dozen teenagers and young adults from fourteen different countries gather in Los Angeles, California, to embark a 3000-mile journey across the American continent by riding bicycles. Few of them have professional bike riding experience, and little do they know the challenges they are going to face. But they have a big ambition - they want to meet with the then-President Obama, and asked for his help to deliver their message to Chinese leader: Stop persecuting the practitioners of Falun Gong, a peaceful meditation practice based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.

On Tour and Lookin' for a Feed

On Tour and Lookin' for a Feed

Two rough diamonds One French Firecracker and a whole heap of Outback! Elisa Guittet a spoilt girl from Paris runs away from the bright lights, and the family business, and comes to remote Outback Australia to find herself and sort out her life. In an attempt to get her back her parents have cancelled her credit cards. She finds herself alone and in the middle of nowhere. After a chance meeting with two lovable rogues, Phil O'Brien a country singing wheeling dealing nomad, and his companion ex jailbird Al Zimdahl, a journey of a lifetime begins. At first there is a complete clash of cultures as our unlikely trio head through the Outback on a journey of discovery. Things get beer soaked and bull dust coated as Elisa's new found freedom takes shape. But after a rocky start a real camaraderie begins to form and Elisa evaluates her life and her former materialistic ways. Then a tragic twist of fate entails when Phil O'Brien disappears believed to be taken by a Crocodile. The film was shot on a very small budget and the story is simple but poignant, and the combination of French culture verses the Northern Territory Outback is really entertaining. Filmed entirely on location in the remote Northern Territory of Australia, this charming road trip is jam packed with some great home-grown music, and plenty of sun burnt humorus scenarios, as our three very diverse characters sing their way from the rustic Red Centre of Australia, all the way up to the lush tropical North.
