Synopsis
In a country where years of austerity have pushed people to their limits, violence incubates; where racism and prejudice are ingrained in the systems of authority, inequality persists. Through BikeStormz, social activist Mac has created a movement for kids across London that creates a safe space to be free and express themselves beyond any threats. A torrent of young people glide through the city on their bikes, doing wheelies, tricks, death-defying acrobatics and cheering as they hurtle through the postcode-neutral space of London's heart. Yet as they come together and find ways to express themselves through biking -- the kind of liberation that surfers and skateboarders eulogize -- they are challenged with the threat of arrest by the police and accusations of anti-social behavior.
