The amazing story of champion cyclist Gino Bartali. How he helped save the lives of 800 Jews during WW2.

It zones in on the crises of representation that have accompanied the enduring crisis of capitalism, foregrounding the production of new visions and artefacts that wrestle with the vastness, invisibility and complexity of the abstractions that rule our lives.
