Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies, a weekly screening of socially relevant movies followed by discussion led by people relevant to the film, is back after its summer hiatus. The fall season kicks off this Friday night at 7 pm with Veer, the award-winning documentary about alt-bike culture:
Veer explores America’s fast-growing bicycling culture by profiling five people whose lives are inextricably tied to bicycling and the bike-centric social groups they belong to. Portland filmmakers, Greg Fredette & Jason Turner, follow these characters over the course of a year, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their personal struggles and triumphs. Veers examine what it means to be part of a community, and how social movements are formed.
Check out the movie, then stick around and chat about with folks from Spokespeople, Cascade Bicycle Club, Bike Works and our paisan from Ballard, Totcycle.
