What: ‘Because it’s There – A story of a group of strangers crossing South America by bicycle’ – a 40 minute documentary.

Please join us on September 24th for the first Montreal screening of ‘Because it’s There – A story of a group of strangers crossing South America by bicycle.‘ This visually rich and thought provoking documentary follows the 2024 South American Epic – a 6-month cycling expedition stretching from Colombia to Patagonia run by our team here at TDA Global Cycling. What compels a group of strangers to cross an entire continent by bicycle? This film tries to answer that question.

Led by unflappable tour leader, Carolina, and her resourceful crew, the cyclists pedal across vast salt flats, mountain passes, wind-blasted deserts, and remote river valleys. Along the way, they confront mechanical failures, political protests, wild weather and personal doubts — but they also experience a shared joy that can’t be measured in distance travelled.

Through candid interviews, moments of adversity and scenes of breathtaking beauty, the film captures more than just a journey — it reveals the formation of a tight-knit community. This is not just a film about cycling. It’s about choosing discomfort, embracing challenge and discovering meaning in movement — together.
