Hell on Wheels
This documentary celebrates the 100th anniversary of the most well-known cycle race in the world - the Tour de France. Focusing primarily on two German riders, Erik Zabel and Rolf Adag, Danquart still has plenty of time to reflect on the race's history, show us the lead-up (and after-math) to the event and admire the gorgeous French scenery. A compelling portrait of one of the most gruelling sporting events held.
