Immediate documentary recommendation share #2! The feature doc Blood Road- http://bloodroadfilm.com/
The sales pitch:
Blood Road follows the journey of ultra-endurance mountain bike athlete Rebecca Rusch and her Vietnamese riding partner, Huyen Nguyen, as they pedal 1,200 miles along the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail through the dense jungles of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Their goal: to reach the crash site and final resting place of Rebecca’s father, a U.S. Air Force pilot shot down over Laos some 40 years earlier.
Nicholas Shrunk is the director. He's one of very few documentary filmmaker's who could definitely give me a run for the money on the beauty of the directing, cinematography, edit, and music. All top class in this touching story about a woman learning more about her family's history.
This film was made with a decent budget though. As it was able to come into manifestation through Red Bull's (the drink) Media House branch which does quite a bit of doco extreme sports content.
