Expected Guest: Director Liz Canning
2019 Green Fire Award Finalist
Motherload is a crowdsourced documentary about a new mother’s quest to understand the increasing isolation and disconnection of our gas-powered, digital, and divided world, and how cargo bikes could be an antidote. As Liz explores the burgeoning global movement to replace cars with purpose-built bikes, she learns about the bicycle’s history and potential future as the ultimate “social revolutionizer.” Her experiences as a cyclist, as a mother, and in discovering the cargo bike world, teach Liz that sustainability is not necessarily about compromise and sacrifice and there are few things more empowering, in an age of consumption, than the ability to create everything from what seems to be nothing.
