Bike Vessel screening

Join us for the first screening of the 2025 Indie Lens Pop-Up season for a special screening of Bike Vessel.

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

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 re-imagine black health.


The screening will be followed by a conversation about the film and the issues it raises.
