BRUNSWICK — “Pedal-Driven: A Bike-umentary,” a documentary film about conflicts related to mountain bikers using public lands, will screen at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday at Frontier Cinema and Café in Fort Andross.
The film “examines the longstanding confrontation between mountain bikers and federal land management agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service over bikers’ rights and access to public lands,” a release from the distributor states.
For more than two years, the filmmaking team traveled across the western United States to tell a story of clandestine groups of rogue mountain bikers who build illegal trails on America’s public lands.
The central story line of the film takes place in the small Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, Wash., but shooting for the documentary occurred over an 18-month period in every Western state as well as Canada.
Tickets for the event are $10 in advance and are available at www.explorefrontier.com. Tickets will cost $12 at the door the night of the show.
