The Frozen Road

24 MIN · EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

Ben Page is twenty-four when he leaves his home in England in 2014 to cycle around the world, a trip that eventually carries him into Canada's Yukon Territory, a landscape he has never set foot in before. The film follows him through the region's isolation and cold, tracking a solo cyclist's days on empty roads, river crossings, and small northern towns where he stops to resupply and talk with locals. Jack London's line about a man's ability to travel alone frames the journey, and the film treats the Yukon stretch as the test of that idea: no support crew, no fixed itinerary, just Page, his bike, and the terrain. It is a short, personal travelogue rather than a survey of the territory's history or geography, built around what one rider sees and feels crossing it. The film closes with Page still moving, the Yukon behind him but the round-the-world trip far from finished.
