Chicago Premiere
B.I.K.E.
"An entertaining, vivid and impassioned polemic about bike subculture...radical politicking and notions of personal responsibility toward the health of the globe are in every minute of the piece."
-New City Chicago
Two filmmakers infiltrate a secretive, vegan, virulently anti-capitalist bicycle gang, made up of punks and anarchists, who engage in drunken medieval-style jousts while riding self-customized six-foot-tall bicycles called mutant bikes. Yes, this is a documentary. Hyper-masculine, subversive and ultra-cool.
Directed by Jacob Septimus and Anthony Howard, U.S.A., 2005, BetaSP, 89 mins.
