    DescriptionAs holder of two World Hour Records and two pursuit World Champion Titles, Graeme Obree has made a career out of defying time. Mind, body and soul this film illuminates his philosophy on life.
    Routinely dismissed as a maverick, with the benefit of hindsight, it turns out that on many levels Obree was ahead of his time. Obree was a lone voice refusing to dope at a time when it was systematic in the peloton. He was one of the first to publicly break the taboo around male mental health. He rejected material status trappings long ago in favour of simple living with a minimal environmental footprint.

    Looking, feeling and thinking so incredible at the age of 55 on this, the 25th anniversary of his final World Champ title, he is an inspirational survivor. We may not have much in common with Graeme Obree but we can all learn from his story.
