Filmmaker Cyril Chermin recently released this brilliant mini-documantary set in Kyrgyzstan during the Silk Road Mountain Race. The film blends footage of women riding the event with that of Kyrgyz women to look at important perspectives often overlooked in race coverage…
We stumbled upon two amazing films that were quietly released a couple weeks ago. Amsterdam-based filmmaker Cyril Chermin teamed up with Eleanor Moseman, Nurjamal Djanibekova, and Jay Ritchey to create these shorts while following the inaugeral Silk Road Mountain Race in Kyrgyzstan.

It follows cyclist Rickie Cotter and talks to a Kyrgyz woman about her perspective on the mountains, women traveling alone, and why this is important for the future their children…
Cyril’s second documentary interviews riders and talks to a local horseman to compare similar impressions of riding in among the breathtaking Tian Shan mountains.
