What is it like to live every day on a bicycle for 16,000 miles?
"Spinning Southward" is a documentary film following three bicyclists who traveled from the far northern shores of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska through 13 countries to Ushuaia, Argentina in support of the National Brain Tumor Society.
The riders, brothers John and Mike Logsdon and filmmaker, Nateon Ajello, were inspired by the memory of their mothers, Jean Logsdon and Fran Ajello, who both were affected by brain tumors. By the end of their journey in September 2006, the cyclists had raised more than $75,000 for the National Brain Tumor Society and had reached out to thousands of families both personally and through media along the way.
The film documents the hardship, wonder, challenge, people, and all elements that come with living every day on a bicycle. It also incorporates mapping, animation and original music that bring the story to life.
Camera 12 Cinema is proud to host a benefit screening of the documentary, Spinning Southward, on Sat, September 18th at 3:30pm. The film will be preceded by a reception and silent auction at 2:30pm. Tickets are $9, with all proceeds benefiting The National Brain Tumor Society.
