Default To Be Free: Harleys in Beijing

First post, long time lurker. A little background on me:

I'm a documentary filmmaker based in Boston who loves motorcycles. My girlfriend and I rode across America on my Street Bob last August and it was the best thing I've ever done. The second best is probably this documentary.

I went to China in 2014 and embedded with a small group of Harley riders. I had no idea what to expect but they were some of the coolest guys I've ever met. Here's the result, a 9 minute documentary about how they're creating their own traditional identities through the American symbol for freedom.

people forget so quick, and some never learn what our founding fathers new very well. being really free is something very rare and should be protected at any cost. enjoyed that, it helps to be reminded.
