A Sunday in Hell
One of the most incredible road-cycling documentaries ever made is this chronicle of the 1976 Paris-Roubaix race. Featuring insights into the top competitors and perspectives from coaches, spectators, riders, even protestors, this gipping film is much more than just a film about a race, it's a powerful psychological drama. Much of the race takes place over treacherous, narrow cobbled paths, and only a few will make it to the end of this gruelling one-day fixture, a monument in the professional cycling world, and an infamous event in the Spring Classics.
