Two worlds collide when cycling legend Jock Boyer moves to Rwanda to help the first Rwandan National Cycling Team in their six year journey to the Olympic Games in London. As they set out against impossible odds both Jock and the team find new purpose as they rise from the ashes of their past.

While this film follows Jock and the Rwandan riders from improbable beginnings through to international competition, it focuses on the second chances they seize, both in coming back from personal setbacks to overcoming the devastating Rwandan genocide. Beautifully shot, you will be taken in by Jock’s commitment to the team and the riders’ drive to improve and learn to compete against professionals, all the while displaying a determination so beautifully expressed through their winning smiles. The film has been updated to include footage from the London Olympics. Narrated by Forrest Whitaker.

This film contains mature themes mostly related to the Rwandan genocide.
