The following is from Sheri Rosenbaum, who was one of our meeting speakers last year, about the screening of a bicycle movie at a local theater.
Dear Cycling Friends
When I got the email a month ago about a new cycling movie, I was disappointed it wasn’t being shown in IL. I emailed them and suggested they show it locally. Be careful what you ask for…one thing led to another and great news! I’m hosting a special one-time screening of the film The Bikes of Wrath, Wednesday February 20 at Regal Lincolnshire Stadium 15 & IMAX at 630pm.
What's the movie about?
Five Australians attempt to cycle 2600kms from Oklahoma to California in honor of the westward migration undertaken by 'The Grapes of Wrath's' Joad family. Through chance encounters with everyday Americans, the cyclists expand on the novel’s core themes of migration, inequality and the perceived land of opportunity. The group explores whether America has progressed since the book was written, discussing the wealth gap, immigration and the American Dream. The fascinating people they meet along the way reveal the enduring strength of human spirit despite the inequality and disenfranchisement which runs as deep today, as it did in Steinbeck’s seminal novel. The Bikes of Wrath is a unique, funny and insightful documentary series filled with adventure, literature, music, and human connection.

Please visit the Demand Film Event Page here: https://tickets.demand.film/event/6837PpKZKOYX
Unlike a traditional movie showing, my Demand Film screening requires that a certain number of tickets be reserved in the next 28 days for the screening to occur.
I’m going to need your help if we’re going to make this event happen! I’d love to see you in the audience, and I’d really appreciate you helping me spread the word. Tell your other cycling friends and have them join us for this special one-time screening of The Bikes of Wrath!
