In search of Timbuktu and the Dakar Rally

IN SEARCH OF THE DAKAR RALLY AND A JOURNEY ACROSS AFRICA BY MOTORCYCLE In Search of the Dakar Rally and Timbuktu records two journeys across Africa: The first by a group of ordinary riders, who, by the nature of their bravery and sense of adventure became heroes for the moment. The other story touches on the heroic efforts of racers riding on the world's toughest motorcycle off-road event. The journey to Timbuktu deals with the usual difficulties of riders being away from home, journeying across harsh terrain in a vastly different culture, and experiencing life far removed from the comforts they are used to. The race to Dakar highlights similar issues and gives a simple overview of how both types of journey, in this superb Nick Sanders film, illustrate how motorcycling invokes a wonderful passion in everyone connected with it.
