The official trailer and quad poster (see above) has been revealed for ROAD, a documentary on the talented Dunlop family of road racers.
Motorcycle road racing is the most dangerous of all motor sports.
A sport in which men compete at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour on closed country roads. Roads that on any other day service cars, buses, tractors. Roads that are lined with trees, telegraph posts and stone walls. Unforgiving obstacles when struck by the human body.
It is a sport that has claimed many lives over the years – and continues to do so to this day. Ireland and the Isle of Man are two of the few places in the world where the sport still survives.
Narrated by Liam Neeson, this feature documentary tells the extraordinary and dramatic story of two sets of brothers from Northern Ireland who have dominated road racing for over thirty years.
Robert and Joey Dunlop. Quiet men from a rural village in Northern Ireland – but racers who risked everything to win. And Robert’s sons, William and Michael. Two of the world’s leading road racers today. Young men determined to continue a family tradition.
Featuring stunning action, candid race day scenes and a gripping narrative, Road is the story of two generations of one family that have been united by success. And united by tragedy.
On the 11th June, Road will be screening at the Empire Leicester Square, London followed by an exclusive one-off Q&A with the film stars and special guests, William and Michael Dunlop, plus 19x TT winner, John McGuinness. Can’t make it to London? Fear not – the Q&A will also be broadcast live across cinemas nationwide!
ROAD will be released in UK cinemas nationwide after special previews at the Isle of Man Broadway Cinema from 30th May 2014.
