Following on the success of Bikes of Wrath and Triplets of Belleville in October and November, please come out for the latest in the bike film series, the stunningly cinematographic Blood Road, on Tues., Dec. 10 at 7pm at Cinemapolis. Co-sponsored with Cycle-CNY, Blood Road follows the journey of ultra-endurance mountain bike athlete Rebecca Rusch and her Vietnamese riding partner, Huyen Nguyen, as they pedal 1,200 miles along the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail through the dense jungles of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Their goal: to reach the crash site and final resting place of Rebecca’s father, a U.S. Air Force pilot shot down over Laos some 40 years earlier. During this poignant voyage of self discovery, the women push their bodies to the limit while learning more about the historic ‘Blood Road’ they’re pedaling and how the Vietnam War shaped their lives in different ways.
