Ride to the Roots

30 min

Ride to the roots is a simple format documentary series that focuses on athletes and artists. We will, almost literally, ride to the roots of these peculiar characters that have a unique upbringing, personal background, origin or past.

Each episode focuses on an athlete as they return to their hometown in an exciting and emotional trip down memory lane. Our protagonists will reunite with important people in their lives (family, friends, coaches, lovers), revisit key locations for their present situation (schools, training centres, homes, fields) and reveal exclusive personal skills, footage and recordings.

We will discover the moments that shaped their career as they ride a rollercoaster of emotions when remembering their childhood passion and how it transformed into their professional success.
