Motherload Screening - Celebration of Cycling 2021

BicesterBUG

Bicester Bike Users' Group is proud to present the Documentary film MOTHERLOAD, the inspiring story of the transformational power of bikes.

Coles Books

The documentary film MOTHERLOAD is coming soon to BICESTER at a screening presented by BicesterBUG and kindly hosted by Cole&#x27;s Bookshop on the 10th of September 2021. If the film was not enough of an incentive there will be refreshments and discussion too.MOTHERLOAD is a crowdsourced documentary in which the cargo bicycle becomes a vehicle for exploring motherhood in this digital age of climate change. The film follows director and new mother Liz Canning on her quest to understand the increasing tension between modern life and our hunter-gatherer DNA, and how cargo bikes offer a solution. As Liz meets the people behind this push to replace cars with purpose-built bikes, she learns about the history and potential future of the bicycle as the “ultimate social revolutionizer.” Conflict arises when characters encounter cultural resistance, in particular bikelash focused on women and mothers. MOTHERLOAD draws connections here to the struggle of cyclist Suffragettes and to women&#x27;s seemingly endless fight for bodily autonomy. Ultimately, Liz&#x27;s experiences as a cyclist, as a mother, and in discovering the cargo bike world, teach her that sustainability is not necessarily about compromise and sacrifice, and that there are few things more empowering in an age of consumption than the ability to create everything from what seems to be nothing.
