AWAY: An adventure becomes a race for victory
"A race against yourself." Those are the first words we hear from the trailer for the film AWAY can take. Let's continue with "becomes a battle for victory." The Race Across America is considered the toughest bike race in the world, and not just because it covers 3.000 miles across America. What makes it so special is that the race consists of just one stage. The 3.000 miles will take you through 12 US states, 4 time zones and over 33.000 meters of altitude.
The drivers have to struggle with the heat and above all the almost endless roads. Produced by 4motionpx, the creators succeeded in 2013 in producing a 76-minute documentary that is well worth seeing, in which the German team 4Athletes is intensively followed. At the latest when it becomes clear that the team can win and there is a head-to-head race for victory, the viewer in front of the screen is tied to the documentary.
