Selected as a Staff Pick at Vimeo, from the first play – this beautiful piece will get you amped instantly. ‘An African Race’ by Ben Ingham (for British cycling magazine Rouleur) captures the annual bicycle race Tour of Rwanda and takes us to a journey across the countryside, providing a glimpse of the athletes and supporters involved in the race.
It simply has all ingredients that makes all video aficionados sigh ‘awww’: beautiful footage, an adventure, skilled cinematography, and a narrative that transcends words, all busted by Fela Kuti’s amping track ‘Shuffering & Shmilling.’
So buckle up and enjoy the race!
