Working Bikes Cooperative and 25th Ward Alderman Danny Solis are proud to co-sponsor a screening of the film "With My Own Two Wheels" on April 22nd at the Benito Juarez High School auditorium in Pilsen at 7pm.

There is a suggested $10 donation, $5 with student ID.
First 50 film screening attendees will receive a free WBC shirt.

MORE INFO:

The film weaves together the stories of five individuals across the globe into a single narrative about the bicycle as a vehicle for change. The documentary was shot on location in Zambia, Ghana, India, Guatemala and California.

Working Bikes Cooperative is a non-profit organization based in Pilsen that redistributes donated and discarded bicycles locally and internationally in order to provide opportunities for personal, social and economic empowerment to individuals and communities around the world. Two of its international NGO partners are featured in the film, Maya Pedal in Guatemala and Ability Bikes in Ghana.

The evening's program will consist of opening remarks by the Alderman's office and Working Bikes, followed by a screening of the 44 minute film. After the screening, one of the film's directors will be joining us to participate in a question and answer session and facilitate a discussion about the importance of bicycles both in the US and around the world.
