Shot and edited whilst cycling around the world, this short film charts my
winter journey into the Canadian Arctic as I completed my bike ride up the
American continent. Compelled by Jack London’s assertion, that ‘any man
who is a man can travel alone’, I sought an adventure of perfect solitude. Yet,
as I came to realise, the harsh truths of travelling in such a formidable
environment were a long way from the romantic images I’d held of this land.
The Frozen Road is an honest reflection on my solo trip; of the wonder, terror
and frustration I experienced when riding through the unforgiving emptiness of
one of the world's 'last great wildernesses'.
