The 1994 Rwandan genocide shook the world and devastated a nation. Almost two decades later Rwanda is starting to piece itself back together. Against this backdrop the Rwandan cycling team is competing for acceptance into a global sport.
Meet Adrien Niyonshuti, a child of those tragic times with an Olympic dream. Meet Jock Boyer, the first American to ever compete in the Tour de France; a man with a dark past, hoping to rebuild his life coaching the team. Meet Tom Ritchey, the inventor of the mountain bike, and the US money man looking to recover from a personal crisis. Meet Paul Kagame, the President of Rwanda. Is he a strong force for Rwandan redemption or a man with too much power?
The Land of Second Chances is an inspiring true story of struggle, hope and redemption.
