One month after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, three friends, Andrew, Scott, and Dylan, set out to cycle the length of Japan to raise relief money for quake victims. The route runs roughly 3,500 kilometers over 43 days, from Nagasaki and Hiroshima up through Kyoto, past Mt. Fuji, and into the plains of Hokkaido, with about 175 hours of actual pedaling and seven crashes between them. Shot on handheld Canon Powershot cameras as the trip happened, the footage shows them camping roadside, staying with local hosts, and pushing through the exhaustion that comes with averaging over 80 kilometers a day for six weeks straight. Japan itself is a running subject: the film sets out partly to show the country is still worth visiting after the disaster, and the small towns and hosts the cyclists meet along the way make that case without narration doing the arguing. They set out to raise $10,000 and finished with just over $13,000 for relief aid, closing the trip on a number rather than a speech.
