Description
Glory Ride tells the inspiring story of Gino Bartali, a renowned Tour de France cyclist living in Mussolini’s Italy, who is faced with a choice between fame, fortune, and saving hundreds of lives. Bartali becomes an emblematic figure of rescue and resistance, as he uses his cycling career to undertake secret missions across Italy, ones that involve concealing falsified identity cards and documents in his bicycle frame to assist persecuted Jews and refugees during World War II. His actions ultimately save hundreds of lives. This gripping tale combines humanity, humour, all set against the golden hills of Tuscany.
