Synopsis

We Pedal Uphill paints a sobering portrait of a country at odds with itself—America, post-9/11.

Shot over a period of two years in more than a dozen states (many of them "red"), the film features performances by an unparalleled number of OBIE Award-winning actors, among them: David Drake (The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me), Alvin Epstein (King Lear), Jenny Bacon (Streetcar Named Desire) and Marylouise Burke (Prairie Home Companion).

In his tapestry of today’s human landscape, Writer/Director Roland Tec focuses his unique lens on an assortment of lives altered forever by recent events. The cast of characters brought to life in this film is as varied as the geography they inhabit, displaying their power to amuse, delight, disgust and haunt as we question the very meaning of being an American.
