USA 2006| HD-DV 17 min.
Dir. Bill Birrell
Bill Birrell is an award-winning filmmaker and an avid cyclist. His credits include “Last Action Hero,” “Speed,” “Contact” and the upcoming “Purple Heart.”

This film documents the legacy of Raymond Fouquet, the 82-year-old founder of Velo Club La Grange.  La Grange is one of California’s largest and oldest cycling clubs with more than 400 members nationwide. The club was founded by Raymond Fouquet in 1969 and fields one of the top amateur teams in the U.S. Past members include a Tour de France stage winner, an Olympic gold medalist, and several U.S. national and California state champions.  “The Gift” expresses the community spirit of La Grange.


AYAMYE*
GOODNESS, KINDNESS, GENEROSITY
USA 2007 | DV 40 min.
Dir. Eric Matthies, Tricia Todd
In Ghana, a rural village eagerly awaits a shipment of recycled bicycles from the United States. The majority of the bikes are sold in a colorful frenzy to pay for shipping costs, while the best bikes are set aside to take to the village.
Ayamye* chronicles the lives of Nurse Letitia and Seth before they get the bicycles and again one year later. These two individuals are very different from each other, the common thread being the need for transportation and the wish for positive development in their community. “Ayamye” is a moving, life-affirming film that proves sustainable solutions to crisis are not always complex.
