Tour du Faso

The film "Tour du Faso" (2014) follows the Tour du Faso, a ten-stage cycling challenge in Burkina Faso where European amateur cyclists compete against African local heroes. The documentary focuses on the experiences of three riders: a French cyclist, a Burkinabé rider, and a German cyclist, who face challenges such as heat and unpaved roads. The film explores their motivations for participating in the race and delves into the contrast between the commercialized Tour de France and the relatively underdeveloped Tour du Faso.
