Blacksmith Movie Night #2: TDA presents Because It's There

“Why are you doing this?” That’s the question posed at the start of this visually rich and thought provoking documentary following the 2024 South American Epic, a 6-month cycling expedition stretching from Colombia to Patagonia.

Through candid interviews, moments of adversity and scenes of breathtaking beauty, the film captures more than just a journey — it reveals the formation of a tight-knit community.

Led by unflappable tour leader, Carolina, and her resourceful crew, the cyclists pedal across vast salt flats, mountain passes, wind-blasted deserts, and remote river valleys. Along the way, they confront mechanical failures, political protests, wild weather and personal doubts — but they also experience a shared joy that can’t be measured in distance travelled.

Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with one of the cyclists. Food and drinks provided by TDA and Blacksmith.

Indoor bike parking available! Feel free to ride to the event if you have suitable warm clothes / lights / helmet.
