Movies that Matter

This month’s Movie that Matters is Rising from Ashes (2012, NR, 82 min) in celebration of the Tour de France.

“Rising from Ashes is a feature length documentary about the first Rwandan national cycling team in their bid to make history and represent their country at the 2012 Olympics. Competing in a white man’s sport, reserved for the privileged, a rag tag group of cyclists coached by the first American to ride in the Tour de France, are transformed into a powerful symbol of hope for a country recovering from one of the world’s most devastating genocides.” ~From IMDB
