I think a lot of people get excited about the idea of this type of trip more so than the actual documentary.
The video itself is utterly boring and an editorial mess. Whoever thinks the editing is superb is clueless about film editing.
There's barely any story in it as we're never properly introduced to the main three characters. We're given no explanation of why his riding partners are deciding to abandon the trip and head out on their own.
The editing is so sloppy that the main character jumps around from location to location with no clear indicator of how he got there.
For example one scene he's eating food with some doctors in Sudan with a plan to cycle to Ethiopia and then the very next scene he's suddenly in Armenia with some girl he met!
The audience is never introduced to the girl, or how he suddenly found himself in Armenia or what happened to the plan to cycle to Ethiopia.
This video isn't worth the $5 I spent to rent it. There are far better films on adventure cycling on Youtube.
