[No money, no food, relying on strangers – cyclist’s hidden camera footage lifts the lid on the best and worst of humanity
[ad_1]
Getting out for a ride, whether solo or with friends, is often met with two pleasures: enjoying a midride snack at a coffee shop or gas station and cruising home after a successful day in the saddle. Now imagine that you had no food, no money, and your home was your bike.
In his latest film, We Are All In This Together, filmmaker Daniel Troia documents his seven-month-long ride from New York City to San Francisco sans food or money.
Troia relied fully on the kindness of strangers across the U.S., using a hidden camera on his person and a sign that read, “Ran out of food. Anything helps.”
Troia captured all footage on his own using the hidden camera, a GoPro and a drone. Footage of the filmmaker out-biking a tornado in Kansas or suffering through the frigid temperatures of the high-altitude of the Rocky Mountains is sprinkled with conversations he has with a diverse group of people along the way.
