Afghan Cycles plot

"When you are born to ride, but not born free to ride."

“Afghan Cycles” follows a new generation of young Afghan cyclists. The film uses the bicycle to tell a story about women's rights - human rights - and the struggles Afghan women face on a daily basis, from discrimination to abuse and to the oppressive silence of their voices in all aspects of contemporary society. These women ride despite cultural barriers, despite infrastructure and despite death threats, embracing the power and freedom that come with the sport.
