Bike Movie Night in Seattle: 'Afghan Cycles'
Recommended
The greatest form of protest is on display in Afghan Cycles: women daring to ride their bicycles even though it’s forbidden. The new documentary from Seattle-based filmmaker Sarah Menzies is powerful—it’s a feminist anthem for the ages propelled by two wheels and the drive for freedom. The subjects of Afghan Cycles range from the women on the National Cycling Team in Kabul to the women whose simple act of riding a bike to do errands is a valiant act of defiance.
