Ewan McGregor narrates this documentary profile of Troy Bayliss, one of the most accomplished motorcycle racers of all time. Using a skillfully edited combination of still photos, home video footage, TV broadcasts, and newly shot interviews, co-director Neil Blewett tells the story of this former house painter, who began as an amateur biker in his native Australia and became a world champion. Although the film is naturally skewed to motorcycle aficionados, Troy's life story will have great resonance for anyone who appreciates the risk-taking, courage, and determination that characterizes champions in every field of endeavor. An exhilarating and exciting tale, filmmakers Blewett, Aaran Neece, and William Mather-Brown's documentary bows on DVD with extras including an interview with Bayliss and deleted scenes. Recommended.
