Anna Brones BA is working on a documentary, Afghan Cycles, about the Afghan Women’s National Cycling team. She writes, “In a country where the idea of a woman on a bicycle is considered offensive, these women are risking a lot to do what they love.” Working on the project, Brones has found linkages to America’s women’s suffrage movement: “As Susan B. Anthony once said, ‘Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world.” The film, which will include a community outreach component promoting women’s cycling worldwide, is slated to hit the global film circuit in 2015.
