Coming Summer 2023, The Engine Inside tells the stories of six everyday people from all over the globe, who reveal the unique power of the bicycle to change lives and build a better world.
Through their stories, we uncover the overlooked potential of this 200-year-old machine, learning that in the face of our seemingly insurmountable global challenges, hope lies in the simple act of riding our bikes.
Covering many global issues—from climate change and indigenous trauma to socio-economic inequality and the transportation clusterfuck—The Engine Inside sparks agency in everyone it touches.
“Never before have we experienced as many converging problems: the climate crisis, social and economic inequality, cultural trauma, and the transportation clusterfuck. The Engine Inside is about unlocking the bicycle as a simple solution. The timing and the message of this film have never been as poignant or urgent as now.
”
