Sean’s Experience

The Bristol Bike Project

This short documentary tells the story of the project from the perspective of two people applying for political asylum to stay in the UK, Daahir from Somalia and Aziz from Afghanistan. In this way the film attempts to draw together the different elements that the Bike Project represents : namely cycling, recycling and giving help to disadvantaged and marginalised members of society, in this case political asylum seekers. It has been very well-received and has been screened around the world as part of the Bicycle Film Festival.  The Ministry of Education in Georgia also included it as part of their methodology of teaching through documentaries!
