The Weight of The Peloton

About This Movie

It’s not just about the races and the glory, but the toll that this weight fixation can take on health. You get a real sense of the struggle – it’s raw. The pacing feels deliberate, letting the moments sink in. It's not your typical cycling documentary. Dunne’s personal angle gives it a distinctive edge, making it more than just statistics and interviews.
