Just premiered, Unspoken Road is a stirring six-minute video from director Chad Unger, winner of the inaugural Rapha Film Fund award, that shares the story of brother and sister Nora and Uriel Torres. Originally from Mexico, they grew up in a small town in California, where they faced isolation and discrimination because of their deafness. As they grew up, they found the therapeutic value of cycling and the escape it can offer. In the poignant video below, the siblings reflect on the immense power riding has had on their lives and highlight cycling’s potential to create a more inclusive and progressive world.
About the director: Chad Unger is a deaf, gay photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. His journey into film began as a snowboarder when he picked up a Sony VX1000 video camera. He soon found himself drawn into the storytelling behind the scenes, rather than capturing the snowboard tricks themselves. Chad’s ambition is to use the Rapha Film Fund as an opportunity to shed light on the experiences and perspectives within the deaf and queer communities and how cycling plays a transformative role in people’s lives.
