Sarah Menzies is an incredibly talented filmmaker and director of several documentaries that capture characters who are changing the world in positive ways. In this episode, we discuss her path to becoming a filmmaker, and she walks us through the production of her amazing feature length documentary, Afghan Cycles. Afghan Cycles follows the journey of a group of young women in Afghanistan who are pushing gender and cultural barriers by riding bicycles. This inspiring film uses the bicycle to tell a story of women’s rights, human rights, and the struggles faced by Afghan women on a daily basis... from discrimination, to abuse, to the oppressive silencing of their voices in all aspects of contemporary society. These women ride despite cultural barriers, despite infrastructure, and despite death threats, embracing the power and freedom that comes with the sport. I'm so excited to share this conversation with you guys. Sarah's work is so inspiring, and her documentary is one of my favorites.  Keep up with Sarah on social media!

Episode 207- Sarah Menzies- Creating Films to Inspire Change

Sarah Menzies is all in. Whether it's her adventure documentary film career or her relationships, Sarah is fully committed to following through on giving back to others. Sarah’s story is about what she would do for her many loves, and in turn, and what they would do for her. The filmmaker behind the short pieces, "The Mirnavator" and "A Steelhead Quest," Sarah's first full-length documentary film, "Afghan Cycles" is debuting at Hot Docs April 29th. Afghan Cycles uses the bicycle to tell a story of women’s rights - human rights - and the struggles faced by Afghan women on a daily basis, from discrimination to abuse, to the oppressive silencing of their voices in all aspects of contemporary society. These women ride despite cultural barriers, despite infrastructure, and despite death threats, embracing the power and freedom that comes with the sport. With the help of her girlfriend Katilin Bailey, we talk with Sarah about the evolution of her promising career. Women Featured in this Episode: Sarah Menzies and Kaitlin Bailey Hosted and produced by Gale Straub. In this episode, you'll hear:  How Sarah became a documentary filmmaker and lessons learned along the way The importance of (at times) removing yourself from the story Tips for getting started in the outdoor film industry What fishing can teach you about patience, generosity, and the environment The parallels between bicycling in Afghanistan and the suffrage movement in the United States The challenges faced by Afghan women and their perseverance in spite of them.
