Description
Across the Plateau + Q&A takes audiences on an epic ride across one of the world's toughest landscapes. This inspiring documentary follows seven retired Chinese cyclists as they pedal an incredible 3,100 kilometres from Lanzhou, across the Tibetan Plateau and all the way to Everest Base Camp. Along the journey, stories of endurance, friendship and survival unfold, offering a unique window into China's changing culture and history.
After the screening, stick around for a special Q&A featuring the film's co-producer, Andrew Pike OAM, and Marilyn Sue Dooley from the NFSA Owls. It's a chance to dive deeper into the film's themes and hear behind-the-scenes insights from those connected to its story.
Directed by Paul Liu and acclaimed Chinese filmmaker Zhang Zeming, Across the Plateau combines breathtaking landscapes with powerful personal journeys, proving that adventure doesn't come with an age limit. Presented in partnership with the NFSA Owls, this event celebrates storytelling, resilience and the enduring power of human connection.
Stories etched into land and memory — and a reminder that the journey is just as important as the destination.
