Hitting the Apex
Directed by Mark Neale
Produced by First Movie Companie
An intimate documentary portrait of elite motorcycle racers at the peak of their sport, exploring the bonds between competitors and the high stakes of chasing glory at extreme speeds.
The inside story of six fighters – six of the fastest motorcycle racers of all time – and of the fates that awaited them at the peak of the sport. It's the story of what is at stake for all of them: all that can be won, and all that can be lost, when you go chasing glory at over two hundred miles an hour – on a motorcycle. But this documentary is also an opportunity to understand the passionate relationship that links the pilots, the technical teams and the legions of fans to the spirit of GP Moto.
