One Day Ahead
The documentary follows 8 Kiwi blokes as they take on the adventure of a lifetime, by riding the entire 2018 Tour de France course one day ahead of the pros, while also raising awareness and funds for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand
While the documentary has a background of cycling, the movie appeals to a wider audience capturing a microcosm of life in 23 days showing the highs and lows as the team bonds together to strive to achieve the goal of riding the entire Tour de France.
Its a must view, and supporting an amazing charity 
While the documentary is about cycling, it will also appeal to the non-cyclist with the stunning scenery of France along with the human interest story where 8 strangers bond to become a team to take on the biggest ride of their lives along with the highs and lows of achieving this.
As part of the adventure the team also focused on raising awareness for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand and in doing so have raised over $85,000.
The documentary itself is approximately 55 minutes long and will finish with a Q&A session with Mike Conza who was one of the eight riders
Get your mates together and book your tickets now for a great night out.
