Videos
Pleasure and pain, glory and defeat, mud and...more mud, PURESWEETHELL tells the story of cyclocross, a sport that has emerged as bike racings punk rock cousin. Told from an insiders perspective, the filmmakers traveled to cross competitions throughout north America, dug up vintage photos and film footage, and followed cross luminaries Justin Robinson, Gina Hall, Barry Wicks and Rick Hunter. Shot entirely on Super 8 and supported by experimental rock music, PURESWEETHELL surfaces both the strong community behind the solitary sport and the grace that arises amidst all of its grit.
