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, the film uncovers the often-overlooked potential of this 200-year-old machine, exploring its impact on a wide range of global issues such as physical and mental health, socioeconomic inequality and climate change.
By shining a light on people who have embraced cycling as a way to overcome daunting personal and systemic challenges, The Engine Inside ultimately asks viewers to reconsider their own perspective. Is there a transformative power within us all that can be unlocked through the simple act of riding a bike?
Join the movement and help spread the word about the transformative power of the bicycle by sharing the trailer with #EngineInside.
“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.”
The Engine Inside World Premiere will be at Move, Amsterdam, on June 3, 2023.
