  • Library Hall
After several health crises, a 70-year-old man embarks on a transformative long-distance cycling trip with his son.

The 2025 Indie Lens season of films and community conversations continues with a sneak peek at the new documentary by Eric D. Seals, Donnie Seals Jr., and Resita Cox, screening in partnership and conversation with Routt County Riders.

Knowing his dad miraculously recovered from three open-heart surgeries after discovering a passion for cycling, filmmaker Eric D. Seals proposes an ambitious idea: Bike together from St. Louis to Chicago. 350 miles. 4 days. On their journey, the two push each other as they find a deeper connection and a renewed appreciation of their quests for their own health and to reimagine Black health.

Bike Vessel will premiere on PBS on Feb. 24 2025.
