Sunday, November 12th - Napa Valley Film Festival Special Event: The Ataxian
Unable to walk due to the neuromuscular disorder, Friedreichs ataxia (FA), Kyle Bryant and a team of friends attempt the most grueling bicycle race in the world, The Race Across America (RAAM). The feature-length documentary, The Ataxian, spotlights a man whose will and determination carry him and his teammates across a continent under almost impossible conditions; an act that sparks others to take action in their own lives. Stunning cinematography exposes raw, unfiltered emotions juxtaposed against the most inspiring landscapes across America. With purity and grace, the film examines the life of a man aggressively living every moment in a race against his own mortality.
Join us for a casual and conversational bike ride (28 miles), followed by lunch at Cru at the Annex near the Oxbow Market, and a special screening of The Ataxian.
A portion of net proceeds will go directly to The Friedreichs Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) - a national, public, 501(c)(3), non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the pursuit of scientific research leading to treatments and a cure for Friedreichs ataxia. http://www.curefa.org/ride-ataxia
