Sustainability Series: THE ENGINE INSIDE with Jasmine Facun

Viewing: November 20,2024

Watch Trailer Director: Darcy Wittenburg

In a world that is growing more car-centric by the day (and more congested and polluted as a result) many people have turned to bicycles as a worthy, clean alternative to getting from point-A to point-B. In an effort to show how impactful bikes can be on a better global future, filmmaker Darcy Wittenburg followed, documented, and wove together the stories of six individuals who spend a good part of their days on two wheels — ultimately creating what some critics are calling “a cinematic ode to cycling.” Spanning the globe and featuring cyclists from all walks of life, The Engine Inside is an inspiring testament to the human spirit and proof that the technology we require to make positive change in the world may already lie within us.
