A motorcycle adventure in Iraqi Kurdistan with the 'Long Way Round' cameraman Claudio von Planta and his fellow biker friend Billy Ward (Biketruck) and supported by the Kurdish filmmakers Kae Bahar and Miran Dizayee.
The film follows an adventure ride of discovery crossing northern Iraq - The Kurdistan Region. Riding across a war zone - who would have thought you could have so much fun? The warmth of the people and sadness, as Billy learns more and more about the history of the region, is thought provoking.
In a country where there aren't any big adventure style motorcycles, the guys are gobsmacked as the Kurdish officials help them out with a couple of unique loan bikes. But when riding to the Mosul frontline and staying with the Peshmerga - Claudio and Billy are on edge!
The journey ends in Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan with a bizarre motorcycle parade across the city. Motorcycles appeared out of the wood work - unofficial and off the radar. Wheelies, burn outs and pure fun. The air was thick with the smell of rubber and hot engines. We hope you like it - we loved it!
