'Closer than we know' is the story of two women who set out to find connection. When they meet a South African student named Olwethu, they discover a profound truth about courage and the power of the bicycle.
In our lives, we may experience occasions of disconnectedness. But even in our moments of deepest isolation, we are so much closer than we know.
We are bound together by the power of the bicycle.
