Summary Afghan Cycles is a feature documentary about a generation of Afghan women who are pedaling their own revolution, aggressively challenging gender and cultural barriers using the bicycle as a vehicle for freedom, empowerment and social change.
Directed By: Sarah Menzies
Her film has little dramatic arc to it, and little uplift. It plays as flatly as the desert valleys the girls pedal through.
